I care about why you think the essay is stupid and if your opinion can be justified.
I don't care why you think that he is unqualified.
Did I say the essay was stupid? (Is it an essay, or is it lecture notes?)
I said the notes were "interesting". I said the conclusion was "the weakest".
Can you be more specific?
