I agree with @Habryka that this comment is underspecified and likely written without proper review of the appendix linked. I suspect many readers are likely to conflate disputed with debunked, and this comment plays into that. This works so well, and it’s use is so widespread, that it has a name, FUD.
In the comments below, I have asked Spencer Greenberg to specify the most important claims he feels have been repudiated, and why he thinks so. I expect the answer will be genuinely elucidating to me.
ElliotJDavies—I had read earlier versions of the post and the appendix, which is why I felt somewhat confident in commenting on the quality of Ben Pace’s fact-checking (or lack thereof).
