What I disagree with in the article is the _I never make mistakes_ attitude; it could be worse, but I still think it's good to discuss. The author writes that because they are "serious", they can essentially rebut all criticism "easily". We are all human and even excellent scientists make honest mistakes. Strong theorists can sometimes make "hard" math mistakes. In the best cases, peer review gives us some assurance that we at least did not make obvious mistakes that can be relatively easily spotted by other specialized researchers. I think the _never make mistakes_ attitude is dangerous, because it means that researchers need to be very cautious when admitting honest mistakes and their own intellectual fallibility in order to not lose face.
