An example of a small mind producing a small result.

Huh? I am no fan of RMS, but his mind does not deserve to be described as small. More importantly, the form of play he is describing -- which, as play, isn't trying to produce useful results or large results or necessarily any results at all -- is a deeply human thing. In the long run, it leads to large results much more reliably than serious effort to produce large results does.
Is the parent post supposed to be self-referential?
If it is, then it was a nice hack.
Then write bigger things next time.
