I don't think there's anything wrong with the meta-commentary that the author provides. He is, after all, encouraging everyone to contribute their own commentary in the same way that Fowler, Bernhardt, and Beck did.

It's sort of like saying we shouldn't ever discuss or scrutinize the reporting done by news outlets. We should only discuss the news they report. I think that's a bit unrealistic.

There's nothing wrong with meta commentary. Let me be more specific, this strikes me more as an ad hominem attack than real meta commentary.

He is more attacking the person cult. DHH has an aura that shadows many other voices, so not DHH himself is the problem, but the reception of DHH.
