Also the website doesn't generate STEEM it's generated from the blockchain.
Yes, however the website draws from the blockchain, so doesn't that amount to the same thing. Could I for instance, develop an app that drew generated Steem from the blockchain in the same manner as Steemit?
Also the Whitepaper is now woefully out-of-date... making it very difficult for people to keep up with where we're at including myself!!
Yup, so you can't blame people for telling it like they see it.
I get very turned off when an idea can't be explained to me in simple terms, it usually signifies a badly thought out, or incomplete idea, or worse yet, an idea that is not fully understood by the people implementing it.

You mean something like the eSteem app?
