The brilliant thing about Linus that never ceases to amaze me is his level of knowledge and how he is never 'wrong'. He has always defended his decisions, maybe in arrogant tone, against countless arguments and each one stands tall.
Lately, Linus announced use Git object database format for Subsurface[1]. One of the respondents said "Why not use JSON?". Linus excellently defended by saying, putting everything in one file was not great. So, even though not being a web guy, he was still aware, why using Git object file format had more merits than any other thing.
