He has in the past used evidence-based reasoning in other EA-related issues, particularly for the animal space which is his focus. Well, only one example comes to mind specifically, surrounding the debate on cage-free campaigns with Open Phil. See here, here and here.
I’m personally skeptical of the disruption tactics DxE has used (under his lead). There was another debate on that, starting here , which suggested their disruption tactics might do more harm than good (DxE’s official response was taken down , but you can find it here. Wayne didn’t write it.). I’m more supportive of their open rescue work, but I think evidence there is also lacking.
EDIT: I would also see the other comments here about DxE being cult-like under his leadership, though, and other criticism in the piece Dale shared.
