Fried and DHH are a lot of things, but naive isn’t one of them.

There are a lot of dimensions to naivety. DHH has certainly struck me as naive in his arrogant confidence in the past (regarding TDD), and it sounds like he was naive in his approach to a major cultural change at his company. Naive not because he handled it badly, but because he seemed unaware that it needed to be handled delicately.
