Yeah this is a fairly weak article - calling something a _fallacy_ is exceptionally bold, as if it's logically inconsistent in some kind of provable way, and it's only barely backed up by the rest of the content. Sure, I guess taking people's word on a subject that they don't have personal experience themselves isn't the wisest decision. It would be hard to prove that there's _nothing_ to offer from listening to them like the article suggests.
