Which exact passage of my piece triggered this bizarre interpretation? What made you jump from "someone criticizes a 1990 paper in Science for withholding critical control group data" to "this person is subject to magical thinking"?

As it happens, I often run into trouble due to my conceptualist views on the foundations of mathematics (that is, I'm a hardcore physicalist & anti-Platonist cognitivist, which is quite rare among mathematicians), so I find your criticism particularly unfair.
