Most of what I've seen of this debate is people crying over the fact that Holman doesn't fit into their mold of what a talk at a conference should look like.
Simply being different/edgy doesn't mean it's better or effective. Someone can attempt to be different and you know what, be wrong. It's neat they made an effort and I hope they would continue to experiment though there comes a time when we must abandon ideas we have come to love if it is shown there is a better way and it takes great character to sacrifice.
Another point is that just because something was discovered a long time ago doesn't mean it's out-of-date, irrelevant and should be replaced. Our society now seems obsessed with changing everything for the sake of changing and ignoring the foundations we have been given.
