Re: The problem is, usually Linus is right
Well yes it sounds like "Poettering", if you ignore one point. Poettering usually just claims things which are quickly disproved. The Linux kernel community typically claims things and backs them with a shitload of facts and empiric studies.
If you proove Linus wrong, he will change his opinion and admit that he was wrong, if you proove Poettering wrong he'll just ignore you. That's the difference.
