I think you missed the subtely of what I said. It's not "their duty" to never make a mistake, and it is not expected that they will catch everything. When they do miss something, or make a mistake you probably tell them in a straight forward fashion. In this case, what you effectively said to me was:
"Hey. I would appreciate it if you would stop not noticing this change that I made to your code through Linus without telling you. *Twice* no less. Wake up! Wasn't it obvious? It is *your duty* to notice these one line changes that happen to break the build on a platform that I care about but doesn't have any consequences on the platforms you are probably testing. Oh, and the aic79xx driver... well I didn't bother to look at that because it's not in my configuration. Oh well."
And I get all of this grief *after* I already included the change instead of after the first time I missed it. You really make me laugh!
