The context was Robert attacking the Wayland developers, from a position
of evident ignorance, via Henry Spencer?s remark ?Those who do not
understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly?. But the quote
does not fit, indeed it is almost the opposite of a fit: the reality is
that the Wayland developers do understand X11, more so than most, and
that is why they decided to go in a different direction.
