I agree that part of it is about trying to control a creative process but when it breaks down the author totally wipes his hands clean of any responsibility. Acting like "sabotaging the product" is an acceptable way to behave.

No, its the only way he could imagine someone behaving and its all the fault of the "Lousy young programmer" and the "Marketing types" with their "power neckties". The fact off the matter is that people who cannot adapt to change in a company are a poison and the biggest mistake that management made, was that they weren't able to replace him with more stable and mature (albeit slightly less creative) professional sooner.
