"Seelentau (Sysop • Translator)

So basically Kishimoto is a puppet and he got to decide shit about his own series. I thought that the manga was good until after the Pain arc (where one editor left), but seeing that even that editor was an influential idiot makes me dislike the manga up to the Pain arc as well."

I think Seel's comment from the Kobayashi interview sums it up nicely. Kishimoto just made crap up as he went. If people were to keep pressuring him on technical aspects, he's probably going to tap William Shatner and be like "get a life". I don't think this one can be put to rest with logic.
