I kind of implied blind greed and author short term self interest as the reasons why he supported the high SBD, and I might be wrong on that.

That's a good point. But I still think there is a strong case that defending the broken peg with whatever motive has done a lot of damage, and your comment was unusually clear and effective in making that case.
