I wouldn't call him a villain ( and I don't mean to paint you as the villain here either)

In my interpretation, he was merely a short-sighted, misguided professor who had three brilliant students that recognised the problem and walked away from it and built something better, while their "teacher" remained entrenched in the problematic system. (He met a rather unpleasant end, by the way... sorry for the spoiler)

In any case , it was only a fictional tale. Although I disagree with nearly everything you say, I do not wish you ill.

Best of luck, professor.
