His article fails the basic pseudoscience test ...and he even MENTIONS this test for detecting pseudoscience! It might seem quite bizarre at first. Don't people typically use the Golden Rule, and apply their criticism also to themselves? But it's not bizarre, it's just the Scoffers' Fallacy: always maintaining double standards, and never realizing that you've done so. Think about it. If you apply stringent critical standards only to those you attack, never to yourself, and you carefully avoid all self-examination, then you'll never discover your own pathology! Very devious.
