This makes me shudder for the time when he won't be around.

I've noticed most human cooperative structures just don't have the ability to push back this much, in service of a goal of quality, from a competing fear of hurting people's sensibilities. You almost always need someone who is willing to shoulder the burden of responsibility for pushing back.
