Because Weinstein doesn't explain graduate level maths to laypeople well doesn't make his theory invalid.

Weinstein has been far less forthcoming than Mochizuki, but he has already gotten far better treatment. Mochizuki is an actual career mathematician, and not merely someone with a PhD.

But the refusal to be transparent in communication has made the mathematics community severely unwilling to continue to expend efforts into saving / communicating with Mochizuki's work.
