Even if they're just outliers, they deserve the right to let their situation be known. You're pretty close to "you didn't communicate according to my standards, so I'm going to ignore you".

Because I would have the same complaints regardless of the subject. Not all opinions deserve equal consideration and you have a burden of proof when trying to convince your reader of something. If anything, I gave this article more attention than I normally would have because I sincerely want properly condensed information about the topic and I haven't found it.

Totally agree. I found the article helpful overall, I understand it must have been difficult to write it, so I'm giving it more leeway
