Well, nobody said that your contribution to the community is not
valuable. However, what was said is that your vision is not the only one
possibly correct. Without wanting to start a "who's hard disk's bigger"

vision should matter also. Hence the community concept vs. a sort of
autocratic organization. Let that last one for Fortune 500 entities.
