Seriously, this whole article is pure garbage. I've not seen such an intellectually dishonest, academically bereft polemic in a long time. If one is going to speak so strongly against something they ought to at least be able to accurately describe it.
Honestly, when I read this, it seems as though he was a very old man, not fully aware of the way his words are coming out. I have been around older professors like this; sometimes they aren't aware of the way the words come out, and what they meant to say becomes clear only if you ask them to clarify.
