Well you definitely didn't understand it then.

The researchers who study the fields he's referencing agree with most everything he said. Hell, a few of them even gave interviews saying he was about, "90% correct".

He was trying to help, and if Google had taken it to heart instead of getting butthurt, they could have used the useful bits and discarded the inaccuracies.

If the best endorsement you can come up with is "Some researchers said he was about 90% correct", you have no ground to use words like 'definitely'.
