No, I didn't, and don't, disbelieve him uncritically. I read the article in the telegraph, and I've come to the conclusion that he is unqualified. That doesn't mean he's wrong, but it does mean that I want more evidence, and I want to listen to others who aren't just hobby traders who want to get attention.
That, to me, seems a more balanced position, and a more credible source.
In short, I'd like to believe the things he's saying, I'm predisposed to believe the things he's saying, but I've gone out and looked for more evidence. In the end, I think his position is too extreme, and no matter how tempting, I don't believe it without further evidence.

And I've seen no evidence that he's qualified.
