I suspect Eliezer is targeted specifically due to his tongue-in-cheek presentation of understanding Bayesian statistics as being initiation into a cult. Also due to the author's familiarity with the topic likely specifically as a result of Eliezer's efforts to popularize the subject and his association to him resultantly.
