It's not market manipulation or lose of mind.. He knows exactly what he is doing.
It is quite a bad karma to distribute a redemption software that does not work AND place a deadline on it.
Or maybe just bad luck as so far it has worked for all people.
But his concern is NOT about flukes in a beta software, and no, it is NOT about a (relatively liberal) deadline.
As he wrote, it is that COMBINATION of those negative factors that he found unacceptable, not any one of the two alone.
Anyone may or may not conclude that for themselves, but it is not really rational to deny that as a valid argument.
If I'm totally illiterate when it comes to computers and I managed to make it work not sure why he can't. I think he has a huge weight over his shoulders and when that happens you tend not to see things clearly. Maybe he should just step back and see things in perspective. He is definitely a very smart person but not in a good place right now otherwise he would have never made a stupid post like that. imho
