It's democratic, and for the people. It says nothing about being a totalitarian dictatorship.
Not everything is/does what it says on the tin. You don't have to agree with official or otherwise authoritative sources without question.
(not that I wish in any way to compare Mr Crockford or whoever runs json.org with DPRK or its leadership - I'm just using a deliberatly extreme example to highlight that what is written may not be what is, at least not from absolutely everyone's point of view)
I generally do, thanks, though I'm not any sort of genius by any measure.

You seem to be missing a bit of an intentional context switch. The comment was more about the logic of the GP's response to "<something> isn't really X" which was "yes <something> is X, it says so on <something>'s home page", than it was about <something> or X in particular.
So it was relevant in the context of the discussion and the facts being used for reference but not, as you call out, in the context of the subject of the discussion (hence my somewhat defensive clarification of intent in the last sentence)
