You're passing judgement based on a life time of learnings. How much did this person know at the time? Arm chair quarter backs always seem to have the right answers.

If I’m coming across as accusing that he made the wrong decision, I don’t mean to say that. The story he’s telling suggests he made a difficult decision under the impression that it was urgent and important.

What I am saying is that in hindsight, this seems like the wrong decision, and I would hope a maker of crypto software would realize that.
