Can you highlight where you made that argument the first time? I read your first comment as entirely concerned with tone and don't see where you are discussing lack of engagement with an argument.

It's a 127 word comment (not counting the snarky aside at the bottom), of which approximately 40% of the words make the points you're looking for directly, in a pair of sentences, one in the first paragraph and one in the second. I think you might have to not want to see them not to see them.
I'm an unrelated person driving by, and I actually scrolled up to try to find the sentences (i.e., the ones about an argument), and I'm not seeing them, either. I have a PhD in English, so I'm not totally terrible at reading carefully.
It might be obvious to you but I sincerely don't see it.

The first paragraph is about the source reducing things to axioms. The second paragraph is clearly about tone.

Where is the criticism of the content and not the tone of the article?

Tried my best, not seeing it either.
