I was wondering that too, but I could not find this quote cited anywhere. Did I miss it?

When it comes to blog posts on Markdown standardization, I think that Gruber's stance that Markdown succeeded because of its lack of specification is assumed background information. I don't think that tweet is the first time Gruber has expressed the sentiment.
I agree, there was never any doubt that Gruber felt this way.
I just thought it was interesting that the OP's quote was in direct contradiction to a quote Gruber Tweeted yesterday, and thought the Tweet and its context was worth including here, considering it wasn't cited in the blog.
