That’s fine, but it’s okay to call out the author’s bias. They contributed wonderful tests of the limitations of the headset. But the headset is only a failure for the authors use case. (AR)

I agree. If you know the author the bias is clear, but it's okay to point it out for people who are not familiar with him.
Having used Hololens vs several passthrough-AR devices (Quest 2 etc) I'd take "poor image quality" over "limited FOV and the need to use it in a darkened room" any day.

Until AR display tech gets significantly better I think AR based on passthrough cameras is the only sensible approach.
