So can nothing be published unless it's cleared by experts in the field? This isn't even in a scientific journal - it's a Medium blog post. I'm not sure why you're attempting to hold it to the rigor of a journal (which he'd have to pay for to apply to, I might add).

You show a bit of humility, some understanding that you might not have it right the first time, and invite corrections. (Also, if it's based on what other people wrote, links help.)
