I started the article but couldn't get past the conceit and name-dropping in the first couple of paragraphs. I just went back and tried to skim through it and gave up again after a couple of more paragraphs.

What you call name-dropping is justified by the need to clarify the stakes and be transparent about where the criticism is coming from.
If the article is too long for you & you're already familiar with the notion of heritability, you can go directly to the "The Dog Eat My Control Group" section near the end.
So, you admit you DNRTFA, and yet complain about what's not in it?
I think you're going to find "I refused to read the article" is not a very effective persuasive strategy on HN. Especially when your opening bid is a restatement of what the article is about!
