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.
