I have yet to see solid rational arguments against his assertions that do not fall into one fallacy or another (appeal to moderation, appeal to emotion, strawman, appeal to... you name it, I've seen it). Until I am shown a well-worded rational argument against his actual assertions, and not some strawman that outrage-powered anti-intellectuals chose to discredit, he is correct (so far). I read his paper, all he did was propose organic solutions to an organic problem, I didn't see what was so outrageous about that.

Critical thinking seems to be a vastly underrated skill these days.
