Not to be argumentative, but I disagree that it still applies.

Nobody was talking about the "masses" here. Its not "cringy" for the wider community to be confused, and lots of people, including/especially witnesses will be glad to take the time to assist. That's not the issue here.

CZ is not part of the wider crowd. The man employees very smart people that can help him understand blockchain. He is one of the foremost participants in the blockchain industry, and it is cringy to not know your own industry.
