Maybe that's a problem in pub discussion with certain kinds of people, but those have nothing to do with science anyway. You can always criticize whatever you like by publishing a critical paper - preferably one in which you also lay out a better approach or present more solid data and statistics.

However, if you show you haven't engaged with the relevant literature and don't address the arguments in sufficient detail, then your paper is likely not going to pass peer review, and rightly so.
