It's simple, Roy doesn't actually understand anything about what he writes.
He's simply a robot that parrots other peoples words, and can't seem to
come up with any of his own arguments.  Therefore, when he reads someone
else arguing against something that fits with his view of the world, he
assumes it MUST be the gods honest truth, and never once considers that the
same thing might be true of his side of the coin.

The funny thing is, if ODF had received 1/10th of the scrutiny that OOXML
has received, it would be a far better format.
