"Would you have believed at the end of last summer that Microsoft and Novell would partner over Linux, or that Oracle would create its own brand of Linux? Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it either, but here we are. So, what does it all mean? Rather than make a snap judgement I decided to sit, wait and watch before trying to make sense of it all. Now, I'm ready to give you my two-cents on who are the winners and losers in this post-deal Linux world."

On the other hand, RMS has no cult of personality. He is all about reason. And no thinking person could question his ideas.
How about Bush, Mao, Lenin, Elvis, NotParker?
It was just a comment on popularity, and I agree that we are all, including RMS, human, not just Linus.
In fact, my doubt was not about whether Linus made any particular mistake, but rather the habit of some people of just believing something he claims without understanding and being able to justify it to themselves.
I think questioning RMS's ideas is great; indeed, I think that is precisely what he wants.
