Well, since I made no claim of knowing the pulse, but I did inquire about it. Nor did I say i get to pick the name. All I did was make a suggestion based on expectations. I'm not sure what you are arguing about.

You aren't missing much, it's exactly as it looks: he's being purposefully dismissive of fan feedback as "niche and irrelevant" compared to the aggregated data of the broad audience.
It's not really THAT relevant as an argument to begin with (using a feature doesn't mean liking it, and liking it doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement), it fundamentally mistakes obliviousness for endorsement (people who aren't familiar with interconnected systems don't have strong opinions about them, imagine that!), not to mention it disregard the expertise that a specialized audience may bring to a discussion as irrelevant for the sake of a "Many won't notice this" type of rebuttal (imagine going to a motor magazine and telling to someone reviewing a motorbike or a car "Well, people will like it anyway, even if you are finding all these issues with the design and mechanics"), but that's pretty much his entire angle in a lot of these discussions, for some reason.
