I know the type of post you talk about - dismissive easy critiques like "correlation does not.." - but GP's remark is not quite like that:

- it states the article has some overconfident claims.

- it gives detailed arguments for why

> Is there a name for this phenomena yet?

"bachelors' wives and maidens' children are well taught"?

No and there should not be. There unjustified critique and justified critique.
