Part of the author's argument is that it doesn't do a good job of arguing at all, let alone quickly and effectively. It just inundates you with so many words and "facts" that people get bowled over by how "smart" it sounds.
Yeah but that doesn’t not make it a super weird example. It makes me wonder where else the author is not writing in good faith.
