In Aaron's case, he saw copyright and privatisation of publicly funded research as anathema, which of course it is. And being at that point of some power and influence for his tier of political clout, he felt he could use his academic ties to cover for his "Open Access Manifesto". In fact, he probably could have done, if MIT stood with him and referred to his work as research; I imagine he was surprised that they didn't.
In which you implicitly agree he was ruling class and did not expect his actions to be punished.
So, the ruling class ejects those who take ruling class ideals too seriously. Also, bears shit in the woods.
He was still arrogant and badly behaved.
