Thunderf00t has a great video about how maddening distracting (read: stupid) these carbon capture project are:

Not everyone likes his delivery, but he’s right more often than not.

I just want to point out how efficient your last sentence is in deflecting criticism about him.

You start with a strawman: "people dislike him because of his delivery instead of his message". This way you immediately dismiss critics of him as "focussing on the tone instead of the content".

But if that didn't convince the reader, you immediately follow up with an argument against people who dislike the content, by saying that flaws in content also don't really matter as long as he's more than 50% right.
