> Linus's harmful and evil promotion of Vitamin C
Which is "harmful and evil" thanks to your afterknowledge. He had based his books on the research that failed to replicate. But given low toxicity of vitamin C it's not that "evil" to recommend treatment even if probabilistic estimation of positive effects is not that high.
Sloppy, but not exceptionally bad. At least it was instrumental in teaching me to not expect marvels coming from dietary research.
