That's right. Even if most lojbanists aren't aware of it, Nick is
the lojbanist who more than any other is working in their interests,
i.e. to produce a rigorous documented logical language that is
not needlessly discontinuous with what they have already learnt of
Lojban.

As for what Nick said, I think his point was that he was outraged
that you would judge the respective quality of his and my ideas 
about logic and linguistics by measuring it against our respective
degrees of fundamentalism. I would have thought that he agrees
that your confidence in him is well-placed.
