I agree with this. Just look at how Satoshi is idolized and even seen in a quasi-religious light. It would be dangerous for him to have excessive influence on consensus proposals. I really do think that Satoshi was a shitcoiner for these reasons: Namecoin, big blocks, and instant settlement of unconfirmed transactions.

This is why Satoshi needed to go away. We can't have people looking to him to make decisions and him being left to be persuaded to agree to changes. Bitcoin needs to be lead by consensus around proposals made by people who are not able to make authoritative statements about subjective preferences.
