No one is threatened by the "smoking man" with a channel, and no one is trying to bring him down a notch. That video above just gives some perspective into his skill level and mindset. Its HIS work, HIS words, and HIS results that speak for themselves. Hes probably a great guy, who helps everyone, but from what I see in that video alone you would have to be seriously ignorant to consider him any kind of authority, especially on anything like a 5.7
