EXACTLY. I was pretty much fine with your post until you threw out those lame reasons.

Believe me, far be it for me to white-knight anybody (especially a person white-knighting another person), it's just those three flaccid explanations especially rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, the 3rd reason amounts to "HE STARTED IT" for crying out loud. Maybe I'm being too idealistic here, but I would've liked to think a member of the panel had moved beyond playground debate tactics. (Okay that was harsh, but it sounds cool so I'ma ROLL WIT IT. )
This is pretty specious, IMO. Prot was fired for a reason, and it wasn't his work ethic.
Don't you mean 0x0000000A char?
