As an indicator of the slapdash quality: she calls into question the neutron-star merger by saying, "Furthermore, the interpretation of this signal as a neutron-star merger has also been criticized."
But if you follow the link in that statement, it leads to a previous post of hers (from November 16, 2018), which concludes:
"Basically, I feel reassured in my conclusion that you can safely ignore the Italian paper [which questions the NS-merger]."
It's more than a little odd to imply that there has been potentially meaningful criticism of GW170817 by referring to a post in which she herself concluded that there hasn't.
