It's not a great argument, IMO, to compare SKS/BSolms with some of the worst thieves around and then to say, compared to the really bad boys, your two look like Boy Scouts.
Boy Scouts are not supposed to lie, cheat, steal, be greedy and selfish, etc. Neither SKS or his successor are Boy Scouts. So, to favorably compare Wave to the worst offenders and frauds and then have their bad behavior mollified by comparison as not that bad--is not a great argument on their behalf, IMO.
It is of the same logic, if you salt my sugar, does it make yours any sweeter?
Otherwise, I agree with you on most of what you've posted about Wave. IMO, Wave was akin to a 3-card monte, street sucker's game.
Let me leave you with a quote (translation) from Seneca: "It is not goodness to be better than the worst."
