Are you that clueless about marketing and reality of human grievances to use that logical twist as an invalid retort (yeah it is logical to an idealist nerd but who cares). Then you'll never get any where. At least Linus understood and he created greatness.

Power of unstoppable (leaderless) organizations to self-destruct

Leadership is absolutely essential. If you guys are under some idealistic delusion of forsaking leadership, then now you see why it doesn't work.

Maybe we might obtain a protocol which is leaderless, but we don't have it yet. And for sure, community project development and marketing can't be leaderless. When it becomes so ubiquitous that it no longer has a leader, then you've already won. But you've got to walk, then run, then sprint before you're flying.
