Yes, Meni R is likely to have a very high IQ.  The Weizmann Institute of Science doesn't just give you an M.Sc. in mathematics because they like the cut of your jib.
The reward for making a quote completly out of context goes to iCEBREAKER

The quote was not out of context.  The surrounding text doesn't change the plain meaning of the sentence

Quote
Bitcoin-XT represents a somewhat reckless approach, which in the name of advancement shatters existing structures, fragments the community, and spins the ecosystem into chaos.

Meni doesn't say "slash sarcasm" or "just kidding" in the next paragraph.  He doesn't clarify that by "reckless" he actually meant "admirable."  He doesn't explain that he really meant "shatters/fragments/chaos" in a *GOOD* way.

You are just trying to deflect and spin his specific (and harsh) criticisms of XT, by using his other irrelevant positive opinions on larger blocks in general.
