Do you discount the observation that "Inuit would often go 6 to 9 months a year eating nothing but meat and fish"?
Do you think the meat items mentioned in the JAMA are incomplete sources of nutrition?
Why "accidentally got required nutrition in ways similar to the Inuit"? After his many years of polar exploration and friendship with the Inuit, how can you dismiss that it was a learned practice?
Do you know of subsequent papers casting doubt on the results? Or replicating it, for that matter?

When people say they don't believe something (despite available facts) it could also mean that those facts run contradictory to what they already believe.
Do you think they were lying/cheating on the food they ate, as published in http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf ?

I found http://home.exetel.com.au/surreality/health/A%20Review%20of%... which says

which considers it feasible.
