I'm skeptical about the discussion of Abraham. Appeal to Abraham is appeal to authority.

I have no opinion on Abraham. Not in general, just for this text.

Why?

Because the red flags I discuss happen early. Way before Abraham is mentioned. What I describe is a tool I use to decide whether the author is projecting a reality or observing/reporting on it.

I stopped reading without encountering any mention of Abraham. However I hope the tools I mention are still of value. I say this because it seems they helped me abandon an article that could have gotten me to Abraham...
