Can't you use this same argument when being critical about any technology, or really anything complex at all?

It is some kind of logical fallacy - just because really smart people worked on something and dedicated their lives to it doesn't mean it is good or correct or that it works.

The point was more the parent comment was dismissing the work clearly without understanding any of it. They employed a sound byte to disclaim something. You're welcome to go read the prose on the subject. Parent commenter clearly hasn't.
