Sorry if it came across that way!
I recognise that it's easy online to mistake enthusiasm for overselling, and that wasn't my intention at all.
I have no stake in this other than to encourage people to give Clojure a try (I just enjoy the language and want to see it grow). I shared my perception that the site owner is well-respected (based on the community's reactions to blog posts, forum posts, and talks), and gave my own reasons (the education style works for me and he speaks with clarity and authority on a topic that can often be mired in academic concerns).
The good thing is that others teach Clojure actively if you're looking for a less job-oriented marketing pitch. For example, https://lambdaisland.com/ https://lambdaisland.com/ is worth learning from (and run by a developer with a popular Clojure project called Chestnut, if that matters to you), http://www.4clojure.com/ http://www.4clojure.com/ and http://clojurescriptkoans.com/ http://clojurescriptkoans.com/ are free practise sites, and the https://www.braveclojure.com/ https://www.braveclojure.com/ and Living Clojure books were helpful to me when getting started.
