Does he know Glyphosate mimics glycine? I'm pretty sure he doesn't. That's an unknown to him.

Whenever you study a complex subject, you have to be aware that there are things you might not know about. And there are also things you might not know you do not know.

That's an unknown unknown.

You're making light of a very serious issue among scientists and science. An honest scientist keeps looking for the unknown, a dishonest scientist (to himself) stops looking, and then it becomes dogma.

This guy thinks he knows it all, but he does not, and he does not even realize that there could be things he does not know. When you do that, you can easily switch from doing science, to (accidentally or deliberately) start pushing an agenda.

That would be ideal, but it's hard to see what you can't see, right ?

And that doesn't apply to the "Organic" Industry because...?

Nobody said it doesn't. But the whole purpose of organic is to do it in a way that has been tested by darwin natural selection for a long time in a very complex system.

Of course that doesn't mean the organic industry is doing things properly nor does it mean that this type of culture doesn't some other negative side effects.

But globally, I'll bet on the farmer cooperative that want to avoid pesticide to be less evil than a mega corporation that produce the Agent Orange. Does that sound silly ?

I really don't get how much you are willing to reverse this attack from Monsanto to organic sellers.

Sure nobody is perfect. And yes, the whole debate is tainted by pseudo science and bad faith. But come on, it's not even on the same scale.
