Even if the code was written by the devil himself or any other monster from the annals of history, I would still support it, because the code that is within BIP101 does represent the best path for Bitcoin going into the future, compared to the alternatives.
If we went back 12 years ago when the best Intel CPU was the single-core 3.0 GHz Pentium Northwood, would you have imagined that the best Intel CPUs of 2015 were still only running in the 3.x GHz range?
To me BIP101 is analogous to the Intel product planners back in 2003 declaring that in 2015 Intel flagship CPUs would be single-core Pentium Northwoods and running at 300 GHz. Don't worry about heat --- the process node improvement from 130nm to 22nm should take care of everything!
Instead over the years Intel has added multiple-cores, multiple execution pipelines per core, larger caches, more caches, improved branch prediction logic, and so on and so forth, but kept the max core clock frequency the same at around 3 GHz.
Saying that BIP101 is the best path forward is similar to those self-proclaimed experts posting in overclocking forums back in 2003 that Intel's product strategy to go multi-core was retarded and they should just be focused on increasing GHz by a fixed percentage for each product cycle.
