Did Malcolm Gladwell ever address the lack of scientific rigor in his work, or does he still roll with whatever narrative he thinks will entertain and sell?

Did he ever sell scientific papers? Did you buy them?

He wrote books claiming to make scientific claims (i.e. backed by data). I did not buy them.
