What do you base this "conjecture" on?

I conjecture that you wouldn't call someone a liar without some pretty solid data or at least direct observation.

Are you maybe saying that you've had 15 honorary degrees in various schools around the world, and the other people up their with you those days, or yourself, were utterly unworthy, to negate his stated observation?

Or maybe you're saying that what he said just doesn't mean much since all he claimed was that he respected the other recipients accomplishments. Sure I get that. One thing everyone knows about RMS, he's easy to impress.

some humans are scammers, most scams are repeatable. so if scammers in country X benefit from credential scamming, then it follows that their exist scammers in countries Y and Z that are also benefiting via their own application of the scamming technique.

For some reason, he hates the United States.

Well the United States has produced more non-free software and more profit based on non-free software than anywhere else, so naturally he hates it.

I'm reasonably sure we also produce more Free software than anywhere else, too.

So, the way it works is, since the murderer is nice to his mom... ?

Finland.

Apart from Linux having gotten its start there, what exceptional contribution comes from Finland that makes it distinctive in the FOSS world?
