Why do you think people follow his line of thinking blindly? That is a pretty bold statement and suggests that board members can't process information for themselves.
In fact, I don't believe anyone on this board started buying hand over fist once the Lupenox angle was presented. (The stock price is certainly a testament to that fact) Many folks unfairly intimated that DD was a charlatan after he suggested this was what he had been led to believe. Interestingly enough (coincidentally), around the same time, we did start seeing TEVA acknowledge that their version of tL was being developed and manufactured outside of the United States. Coincidence, perhaps....
In any case, DD should be given kudos for his very competent organization skills. I would hire him to organize my files and folders on the spot. Even if he lost all his money in MNTA, he would have a job with me filing folders and organizing documents and thoughts.
