Can you show us where Alan said he cares more about acceptance than
success?
Just because two concepts aren't necessarily synonymous doesn't make
them mutually exclusive.

Alan said he *only* cared about acceptance, not the license. Whether
this means not anything else as well is not clear. I'm just saying
that I find that particular terminology in any context unsettling.
Acceptance should almost never be more important to me personally.
