Inaho being perceived as the epitome of the emotionless genius archetype is the longest standing criticism of the show since the first episode and it is a perfectly valid one. And a very often repeated one. So I see no problem with asking for an opinion on why somebody doesn't see it as an issue, but there's no need to get defensive over it for whatever reason.

Defensive? Moi? Now who's insinuating?

You asked why someone didn't have an issue with your perceived (and yes, half if not most of the internet's shared) view of Inaho being never wrong, untouchable, and ever successful. I just felt the need to point out multiple times throughout that he was anything but.

Let me just make it clear I'm not "defending" Inaho, as he's nowhere near the list of my favorite characters in fiction. Having said that, I did find him entertaining simply because most mecha show protagonists I've watched are either emotional young men, Coop, or other stereotypes usually assigned to Shounen main characters. Having someone who doesn't have an earth-shattering Gundam or mech from the future, but instead is fighting people with such weapons with only his brain (exaggerated as it might get, even before the Odin implant) was refreshing.

Also I've bumped into way too many a Batman fanboy who go on and on about how the Bat can beat anyone with prep time, so my standards for "infallible god" include "insufferable fanbase and grand exaggeration".

It took Inaho an entire season to upgrade his mech to match Slaine's bullshit precognition-bot, and for all his intelligence he still failed to keep the princess from being shot, and he was needlessly a dick to Slaine during their team-up.

I don't have a problem with you asking a losondro about his opinion on Inaho; I just added my two cents in. I've seen worse characters than him, so he just doesn't qualify as "infallible" to me.
