Oh, so nowadays it doesn't matter whether a point makes sense but where and by whom the point was made? I'd call *that* a strange way to run a project.

No. I didn't say it doesn't matter. I implied one person's opinion generally matters less than the combined opinions of all the other users and contributors who've participated in the project and the discussions that have already taken place. If that one person changes the rest of the project's opinion by well-reasoned arguments then by all means change the direction, but don't do it just because one person makes some good points somewhere on the web, which most of the contributors haven't read.
