>It's easy to just snipe at areas you think others were wrong

This is actually a fallacy called cherry picking, which is ironic because apparently a good philosopher is someone that doesn't use syllogistic or fallacious thinking.

Pretty sure he's strawmanning as well. If you understand the argument to be absurd despite knowing the person who made it is a famed thinker, maybe you don't actually understand the argument all that well?

I was sarcastic in my comment. I completely agree with you!

Thank you for writing this. I wrote a big long rambly comment tearing into the article, and this feels like the perfect (and better written) complement to all the points I made.
