It’s brought up because it directly ties into how he handles adversity (which almost always comes in the form of bad, soul-deflating goals against). Which is why body language and ‘presence’ with respect to leadership has been elaborated on in the posts you quoted. And why Eakins and his soulless blank face was mentioned.
When people are targeting his screen-staring post-goal to needle, it’s not the act itself they’re upset about, it’s what the act signifies and it’s backed up by the context of being a recurring theme with Glen that’s thrown a wrench into team performance and identity all season.

For me, working hard to access and understand all the available data as opposed to trusting one's own faulty first impressions is a sign of self awareness, confidence and strength. It is a sign that one is eager to learn, and not set in what he thinks he already knows.
So, which one of us is right?

Always attempting to be the smartest, most learned guy hasn't availed him - it's likely the reason he's lost the room. The results speak for themselves.
I get that he's trying to help his team. It's just not the right kind of help, and not what this team needs. The team needs a leader behind the bench, not a genius.
