It seems to me you've been spending more time responding to fictional arguments about Bruce than others have been criticizing him.

People think he's a guy that can do exceptional things. He's been very good but he hasn't been exceptional. There's no harm in hoping for that and being frustrated if it doesn't happen. That doesn't mean they don't appreciate what he is doing if the 'potential' never materializes.
