Seems Jeff has launched a malicious attack on proof-of-stake, been unsuccessful, and has lost his stake. In this case his reputation.

You can't hand-wave over "complexity" and then call it "opaque" and self referential using a bunch of vague and imprecise analogies. The "step 2 complexity" is where the system justifies itself. It's where it's proven sound. Just because you're too lazy to get into the weeds and technicals of it does not make the system flawed. A casual read of the overview of Ethereum 2's proof-of-stake mechanism[1] would have helped Jeff save his reputation staked on his blog post.
