He's not in the wrong place. He's in the right place
but doesn't understand the local culture and assumes
that all the locals share his culture (i.e. mode of
conlanging). He's not doing auxlang advocacy: he's
not trying to persuade people to learn Ygyde as the
universal first or second language; he's saying that
for a certain design goal (which he failed to spell
out explicitly), Ygyde comes up with a better solution
than the other conlangs he's seen. (None of us agree
with him about that, but that's not the point.)
