All of them I have found quite cutting in their criticisms and often well-supported. However, some of his conclusions are a little bit spurious.
Can't shake the feeling that he is wrapping the math around an assumption but it's up for others to denounce it. It's good reading regardless, steamroller arguing that never misses a beat. Keep thinking so bloody what but if you know where he is comming from it's hard not to apreciate.
