Herbicide is a subclass of pesticide.

I stand corrected.
Still, "herbicide" is a more specific and accurate description of Roundup.

You are still intentionally ignoring any and all spillover effects of an herbicide into other types of -cides.

Disregarding a 100 page report because it uses "pesticide" as the general term containing both actual pesticides and herbicides seem disingenuous.
Erroneous labeling only distracts from any further argument.
When the author clearly doesn't even know/understand the difference between "pesticide" and "herbicide", why trust/bother with anything further they have to say?
Monsanto may well be a disciple of Satan but a proven lack of basic insight on the issue doesn't help validate the opinion.
