The problem is not that he's suspicious. The problem is that he is arrogant and
insulting. He could have just said: "Let's keep our eyes open for the
possibility that this program is a clone etc.". Instead he comes with wild
unsupported accusations. He might be right, but he certainly doesn't prove it
here.
