This is the author. I didn't submit the article here, but I did happen to run across this posting from my GA.

Thank you for the feedback. You're right.

It's one thing to point out errors constructively, but another thing entirely to make fun. After all, English isn't everyone's first language, and I'd have a tough time writing an article like this in Spanish, for example!

I've updated the article to remove that comment, although I still (gently) point out the worst of the errors. I've also added a theoretical framework to tighten up the argument a bit.

Thanks again for the feedback. There's no purpose in being nasty when the point can be made another way.

Apart from that one comment, the remainder of this article - the vast majority of it - was a well presented argument about why the original post was flawed. That comment was obviously just an aside
