Sure, but there's a big difference between a college kid at 20 and a man at 35. I don't know where you draw the line on things you can assume someone has outgrown, or how they've changed, but I draw it at some point where what he said at 20 when facebook was still a Harvard project doesn't affect how I think of him or the company today

But it’s the same product. Run by the same person.

It’s not like Zuck moved on to a different product besides trading trust for cash. How has he changed? If you’re an engineer and don’t get it then 20 year old Zuck is actually right about you.

What if the old quote and the new data said the same thing about the person, would that make any difference?
People can change over time.

But Zuckerberg has been quite successful since he was 20. Why should he have changed? Being a cunt has worked well for him.
