I put that as a reason as I'm sure it's the same for Nojima, too (i'm not sure what his is, but who knows, maybe it was because of the move).
I'm not gonna make a statement on Wada's intelligence, because it's a different culture and business culture there. But technically, you could say it worked out because Square has been pushing so many successful games since the move and merger, after it was near such a bad position before the merger. Plus SE has made an amazing number of quality titles over the last year alone, i would have to lie to say it didn't work out. As far as losing Uematsu, there's nothing stopping him from working on titles, Nojima does it all the time.
