You are taking this far too seriously.  The point here is that MN can be
an incredible perfectionist himself (and demand the same level of
perfecionism from others) in things he cares about, while at the same
time being very sloppy with things he cares less about.  This
discrepancy sometimes makes dealing with MN difficult.  Since he deals
out sarcasm in mails or commit messages himself, he will sometimes have
to swallow a bit of his own medicine.  That's all.
