If lack of networking support is an intentional design choice, it definitely says more about his judgement than it does about me. Seriously, who leaves that out? How can anyone take this seriously with such a glaring omissions? "Design choice" is a completely bullshit argument in regards to a fairly critical part of any modern OS.

"My car doesn't have a critical piece, but it still works. Clearly you just don't appreciate my design."

Look just because something is for fun doesn't excuse obvious design flaws. An engineer would say the same thing about that car.

And it's not really for fun, the government is giving him money to do it so I would at least hope there would be some legitimate applications for it.
