Surprising they were able to get Hyneman to give opinionated commentary. As they said, he doesn't have any public presence, unlike Savage with his active and growing media presence. Are the former show hosts even the appropriate people to ask at all?

It looks to me as if this David Clow dude's postings are 100% bot. Superfluous negation, extraneous em-dash, badly-formatted bulleted lists, leaky Markdown, non-contextual comparisons, handwaving-dismissal of stated concerns, and a tendency for grandiose phrasing in absolutes where a bit of somewhat-indeterminate simplicity would be a better fit. Good job, Flock.
