Lessee, “The” most prestigious science magazine around has to launch a point-by-point criticism of a movie by an actor who is most famous for the line “Bueller?” Yah, I’d say he touched a nerve.

I’m not a professional debater(a “master” debater, if you will) or anything, but techinically, I think that might be what is called an ad hominem attack. You are attacking the manner of the arguer, not the argument itself.

Think of it as a public service to their readership. Some of them might otherwise wander into the movie thinking that it was about science.
