I am not a hardcore neird to fully understand your logic behind that statement, but as a casual reader, I must say that this is one of the dumbest reads here in a while.

This might be correct, but I believe that certain people deserve some respect. It would be a shame, if that would happen with any well known dev here and nothing would happen. What you call a „dedication to one individual“ does not need to be so big, that it involves much time and thought to maintain. A small sentence or idea would do it.
