I mostly disagree with Ben, but I don’t think judging him based on that paper is fair. It’s pretty bad, but it was also written in 1996. Fourteen years is a lot of time to improve as a thinker.
I had that thought too, and I was thinking of retracting or amending my comment to that effect, but looking at some of his later publications in the same journal(?) suggests that he hasn’t leveled up much since then.
