The thing is... I'm not even a coder, just a geek by osmosis, and even I know what a gem DPOS is, and I can explain it reasonably well.  I couldn't explain any number of other systems out there, but once you're introduced to the Graphene toolkit family, and its super powers, then your survey of the available field of blockchain technology looks like:

*Ok, so can it scale?*  hmmm... **next**
*Alright! but can it scale?* hmmm... guess not.  **next!**
*Ahh intriguing, but can it scale?* nope.. **NEXT!**

This and other virtues puts DPOS and the Graphene Toolkit so far ahead that... yes, it's threatening if it's not your horse in the race, so... I guess you make like a horse and *keep your blinders on.* :P
