I agree that a large number of superficial readings won't find issues

And theFSF does seem to hold a worldview that classifies distributing
non-free software as a human rights violation, so unreliable, slow and
incomplete free software is better than any proprietary software. It's
not a worldview I share (nor would I describe it as utopian) but it's
consistent.
Silly me! I just realized that FSF isn't EFF. The thread makes a lot
more sense now.
I know *do* the difference, honest.
Once upon a time, many years ago, I was talking to Richard Stallman. We
had met before, and I reminded him how he knew me. Yes, he remembered
and said:
"Oh, you're that ass hole!"
One of my proudest moments.

even if he messes up a TLA now and then.
