I think you're being a bit defensive here. He said he thought the general consensus was against the zik dying when they steal. Despite eneral consensus being the best validation of truth we have*, his statement doesn't really try to claim anything. He's not saying 'it's a bad idea', just that the people he speaks to are against it.
Why the implied argument is that it's bad and should be changed back, you're jumping to the conclusion that he's actually saying this as opposed to "I don't like it, my friends don't like it, I predict it's going to go bad, but you PAteam folks are in charge so let's see how it goes".
