I am sure all those folk who bought the Paperwhite when it was first released in 2012 loved having sirmaru tell them they were seeing things and that there were no colour blobs on their PW's, especially when he'd already stated he doesn't have the best eyesight and has cataracts, but still insisted they were seeing things....

Exactly. It's not about being articulate, or polite, or even wrong/right. It's about a pattern of behavior over a long period of time. Politely and articulately ignoring technological facts that have (long ago) become common knowledge (or can be very easily looked up) while making statements that feign comprehension of said topic becomes tiring (and a bit silly) when repeated
ad nauseum.
Most people at least
briefly consult their Funk & Wagnalls about a topic before publicly pretending they have enough of a grasp of the basics to converse somewhat intelligently about it. You ask
questions if you don't know, rather than tossing out nonsense (however articulate and polite) in the hope that you sound knowledgeable.
