It's a shame to lose a decent and bright guy who was on the right track when so many others aren't.

The irony is that he let his ideology (read as "replacement for critical review of thought processes) get in the way of doing what is a good idea regardless of your feelings for the idea.

So the question becomes, was he really that bright after all?
