The only thing I got out of this is the fact that when people say ted Chiang is such a brilliant guy, you have to read his stuff, my mind is going to silently think no he's a sophist hack. Am I the only person who read this and thought my god this person is an idiot but is smart enough to get other people to think he's not an idiot but is actually a genius .

No, but I got the impression that you have a facile understanding of human thinking/creativity, in that you think that a person with bad arguments in X areas must necessarily have bad arguments in other areas, and can't also be a brilliant writer otherwise.
