It sounds like he assumes that his goal is everyone's goal. His goal seems to be
more along the lines of advancing artificial intelligence, creating new ideas,
and so on. A rather academic view, which is fine. I don't think the majority of
chess programmers are interested in that.

Some of us (most of us?) are probably more interested in beating our buddy's
program on ICC :) Most of us amateur computer chess programmers probably view
our hobby as just that, a hobby, a form of entertainment. Not an academic
research project.
