Treating the reactor like the world’s worst game of whack-a-mole for the hour leading up to the meltdown was his fault but you are right and he definitely would have acted differently if he knew the RBMK design was completely fine, totally flawless, and a marvel of Soviet engineering excellence.

>if it did happen, and we say it didnt, it doesnt matter since we all received a lethal dose of radiation and are gonna die in a few months anyway >if it didnt happen, and we say it did, we will be gulag'd

He was just a bitter wagie who didn't want to put in more work than necessary.
HBO writers played him up to be some kind of psycho when in fact he wasn't IRL.
