Rejecting Bruce doesn't demonstrate irrationality, it's just consistent with the already observed pattern. The point is that as long as there's no public competing voice, their claims to legitimately control the definition of "Open Source" appear to stand. Once there are two contradictory voices it becomes much easier for a casual observer to dismiss the stranger one (or both) as irrelevant.
