So the original paper is sophistry because:
>the author linked to many research papers by experts
>wove an argument together out of all that research
>The tone was authoritative and confident
>it’s fairly long and comprehensive
>it’s well-organized
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. The paper is bad because it is good.
The author of the original paper was more thoughtful than this one's. A good post would have investigated the original paper's claims and responded to them. This is a low-effort take.
