Theo has an agenda. His actions and words are intended to serve that agenda, not the needs of FreeBSD users. Your confusion arises from failure to recognize the gap between the two. Note that I'm not bashing Theo here. He did what he could to extract some positive publicity out of what was effectively a PR disaster for OpenBSD, engineered by ISS (who also have their agenda.) He got caught between a rock and a hard place and tried to make the most out of a rotten situation... no matter how much I disapprove of the ensuing circus, I can't really blame him for trying to defend himself, though I still think he went a little too far.
