Scribes were always writing insults and whatnot in manuscripts. I wouldn't be so sure that delinquents or the lovesick wouldn't too.

He's never claimed to be a scholar. He claims to be a journalist. The problem is though, he also draws an analogy with a lawyer 'defebding his case'. He explicitly said he starts with a theory and then collects evidence to support it. He then makes the strongest case possible. He said this in his blog. It is terrible scholarship and for that reason would never get published.
Then he claims everyone else has 'blinkers'.

Hey, English food might be bad, but I suggest you try post-hole stew before knocking it.

I remember some Polish friends struggling with the mild Liverpool winter because it felt colder (or more uncomfortable) than the subzero temps at home.
