That's not discussed in this article, so leave it for when it happens. It's a flavor of a genetic fallacy to discount what's stated in this article because of his reputation.

But for what it's worth -- yeah, I mentioned in another comment that I don't consider him an "elder", and the bizarre/alienating perspectives are the "why".
