Is that what you base him being "controversial" on? My understanding is that he regularly publishes in the Lancet [1] and New England Journal of Medecine [2] (if I am using pubmed correctly).

His tone is controversial: he’s happy to say things that will make some people unhappy. You are quoting a highly respected peer-review journal. Those were set-up to avoid appeals to individual authority and replace them with (anonymous) peer review. His presentation is certainly promising but it hasn’t gone through such a review yet.

  I don't think 'controversial' is the right word for "he’s happy to say things that will make some people unhappy."

  How does his tone compare to other French researchers? The work is the important bit, not the accent or even individual personality.

He wrote letters to the editor of the Lancet in response to somebody else's papers!
