As far as I can tell, everything he says is grounded in fact or is at least cogently supported. I intend to follow some of his pointers and read more.

The problem was that the comment starts out with that comment about being a paid shill, and then goes on to treat the comment it replies to as if it was a series of firm claims made to mislead, when it starts out with a bunch of questions, and draws some very limited conclusions on the belief that we know too little.

MostAwesomeDude could have started out answering the questions on the assumption they are honestly meant, without the attitude, and it would have come across a lot better.
