Unfortunately he was often backed in his general views (not specifics) by those who had more credibility.
Not to mention many who challenged these views with a pro Blu-ray perspective (even when backed by facts) were portrayed as out of control fanboys with no grasp on reality.
I guess realities hit hard now.
