I think you are getting to the essence of this disagreement. One group is convinced that their effort in promoting Haiku in the way they thought out might lead to the recrution of new developers. While the other group is rather convinced that it won't help in this form. Either group can't _prove_ the other one wrong, so I think the admins held on to a "hard fact" in the end, which is that Haiku is, in their eyes, not yet ready to be handed out to people (or Linux developers/fans in this instance).
