It seems that you just got swayed by some fancy prose. Please read
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html in conjunction with the
above and you will realize that Mr. Mathur is implying that the
founder of the Free Software Movement and father of the GNU project is
a "sloppy" thinker and that his passionate appeal to people to accept
the GNU/Linux name is a "shallow and superficial" pursuit.
