Contrary to what you just said, you have not cut Eliezer the slack that every reader should cut every author before publishing a critical comment.
Critical comments are the natural result of critical thinking. They do not imply rejection or necessarily contain negative opinions. There is no threshold that must be met before readers can critically comment, because that’s what they’re supposed to be doing.
The validity of an argument has nothing to do with the correctness of the conclusion. The arguments being presented here are wrong. Why are you more concerned with whether you agree with the conclusion than with the methods used to generate it?
An even better question: why do the people who are so enthusiastic about eliminating others’ bias so unconcerned about dealing with their own?
