He clearly believes in the value of work/life balance. Decades of experience indicate the current legislative regime vis-a-vis work/life balance hasn't done much to actually improve work/life balance, mainly because most employees have very little to no negotiating power in relation to this. Yet, he's highly resistant to revisiting his view on related legislation.
It's not outright hypocrisy, although that's the easiest word to use. It's more like a certain blindness, adherence to ideology or simple naivete. Still, for a guy who's supposedly an outcome-focused intellectual, the fact that he can't address the disconnect here is, quite simply, something for which he opens himself to criticism.

It's nice that you think so. I'm sure when people assume the worst about MBBF's arguments he thinks the exact same thing. Doesn't mean it's true, of course.

Now you're just projecting. MBBF's reputation is built upon his penchant for ignoring actual facts. You would accuse me of the same except a) we're not dealing in facts, but ideologies (in this specific instance) and b) you two continue to misconstrue my argument to fit your own narrative.
And honestly, if you're going to call names, I'd prefer to be known as the liberal version of Jon.
