Seems like a way of saying 'I am going to contradict you without justifying my
position in terms that allow me to criticize any request to do so'.

On the 'misapropriation' issue, I think that it is important that
people understand that nobody owns the Internet and nobody
can own it.
Just because the IETF won the global data design competition in the
1990s does not mean that it has perpetual ownership of it.
Seems like a peculiar version of the actual history of the
IETF and of the Internet design. But, let's NOT get into a
deep philosophical discuss of what "ownership" means.
