Because he thinks that if MAMEdev is untruthful in this matter, then the moment he gets MAMEdev to change their tune and say "it's about simulating the experience, playing games is the central goal of this project" then he gets to ask questions like:
- what about netplay? that simulates my home arcade experience
- I like 2xsai filter, please add it
- why are these ROM things so illegal anyhow? just build in some downloader. Or bundle them!
- I want MAME to emulate my homebrew SF2 hack that only stars fat Chun-Li. It runs in my arcade, at least.
It's a slippery-slope argument. Or at least that's my interpretation.
Also, if the statement were indeed untruthful, well, any sort of dissembling the truth probably offends him, much as it might a teenager diagnosed with Asperger's. Wait, perhaps I am thinking of someone else.
[EDIT] Also, what Pi said.
