The literary editor on page 2 had the author completely pegged:
"Mr. Ellsberg’s writing is not strong enough to overcome the simple fact that he is not a very likable person. Sorry, but there it is."
It's true of this article, too. I don't want to play armchair psychologist, but this individual has an enormous ego and shows shockingly little empathy. I think there is more wrong than he is letting on.

Funny, that part resonated with me as well.
Totally confirmed after I followed the link to his book on amazon and saw that it had been blatantly astroturfed with fake 5 star reviews.
My thoughts after plowing through this, were that it's a shame the conclusion was at the end of such a hard-to-read article.
If ever there was an article that could benefit from a solid abstract, this is it.
