I didn't get that impression. I did watch the video. That guy is one psychotic fellow and my instinct tells me he'll be the first one who's a victim of the Black Socratic Method (or whatever).
...don't want to dissuade you from reading ‘em.
Personally, I think Star Traveler is a prestidigitator -- he has you looking at one thing to keep you from seeing something else. All that stuff about API/Chief Editor Korir/Black Socratic Method (whatever) is irrelevant. As I see it, even if Chief Editor Korir was using the Black Socratic Method (whatever) no one was harmed except Chief Editor Korir's credibility.
Prestidigitator - that’s a word I haven’t read in a long time. ‘Bout sums it up, I agree.
