I dont find his tactic always admirable nor his positions that great. He is quick to claim superiority without there being any real evidence for it. While that thumping of chest feels good and inspiring when I was younger, the older I am the more suspect it is and the more it looks like self serving lie. Not a lie in something big and important, but a lie that no one checks and thus works even better. It makes me loose respect for such people now. I get that zealots often achieve more success, but I find more admirable people who don't do everything just because they want something.
