I do think it is a little weird that they are going to such extremes.
I have to agree with you. But they are obviously looking for a "scapegoat" for their PPS. They even talk about it in their PRs. So...if they can blame bashers...that just makes logical sense.
Scapegoats work well. I would not want to be one of them.
