I agree- the EA community claims to be “open to criticism” but having someone comment that a post is foolish on a first time poster’s well articulated and argued post is quite frankly really disappointing.
In addition, the poster is a professional and has valuable knowledge regardless of how you feel about the merits of their argument.
I’m a university student and run an EA group at my university. I really wish the community would be more open to professionals like this poster who aren’t affiliated with an EA organization, but can contribute different perspectives that aren’t as common within the community.
