For what it’s worth, the preamble does a better job of explaining to me why Stallman has the reputation he does. Also, I am less sure about this, but I found the prelude to be a joke of sorts—it functioned to set up “completely right” as a negative trait. The edited version lacks some of the punch—it tells me that people hate Stallman for being right, but it doesn’t quite communicate the intensity.
