This is part of a larger cultural problem in the programming / sysops community. Too many people assume the worst, and way way too quickly. The Redis author's "This is why I can’t have conversations using Twitter" (http://antirez.com/news/82) article describes this pretty clearly.
Even if you can write an awesome system, or an awesome article, with one tiny flaw, immediately an army of people will jump on that single tiny flaw and declare you stupid and incompetent, or worse, that you should be shot.
This kind of attitude does not bode well for the open source community, where cooperation and collaboration is important.
