I took the article to be the counterpoint to the uninhibited praise of TF. In that light, I don't think it was meant as a balanced assessment of the whole product, but had a narrow scope of simply pointing out a handful of flaws that he thinks isn't discussed enough.

It's the same feeling when you hate a movie that everyone gives five stars: you might agree with some aspects of the praise (or even most of it), but that's not what you're going to be talking about. You'll talk about how and why it sucks compared to better movies.

I'd guess he could make a strong pro-TF argument if desired, but that just wasn't the point of this post.
