Wait, does this mean that I am not allowed to criticize someone just because I ... don't have their skills? That doesn't make any sense.

This paper is not peer-reviewed. It should end there.

No. I'm just not convinced at all by his comment about the author's publication history.

So you think scientists aren't allowed to communicate with one another and the public except through peer reviewed articles? 'Tis absurd. Anyway, peer review means very little nowadays. I publish 3-5 papers per year in top journals in my field, and many of the referee reports I see are hilariously insignificant, effortless, and/or just totally off the point.
