The softest of takedowns.

I agree, and it seems like most commenters (so far) seem not to have read the “takedown”. What the author mostly criticizes is that the NYT is not providing enough evidence, not that things are clearly wrong.
Sadly, the author's title produces the same sort of response that NYT's title does. Nuanced analysis is blown over by people reacting to titles.
