Really appreciate your reply Nuno, and apologies if I’ve misrepresented you, or if I’m coming across as overly hostile. I’ll edit my original comment given your & Arepo’s response. I think part of why I posted my comment (even though I was nervous to), is that you’re a highly valued member of the community[1], and your criticisms are listening to and carrying weight. I am/was just trying to do my part to kick the tires, and distinguish criticisms I think are valid/supported from those which are less so.
On the object level claims, I’m going to come over to your home turf (blog) and discuss it there, given you expressed a preference for it! Though if you don’t think it’ll be valuable for you, then by all means feel free to not engage. I think there are actually lots of points where we agree (at least directionally), so I hope it may be productive, or at least useful for you if I can provide good/constructive criticism.

I very much value you and your work, even if I disagree
