If you're going to write a 7500 word article on why most experts are wrong about a subject, you should probably start by providing the reader with some reason to care about what you have to say. Writing with this authoritative tone and no disclaimer as to your lack of expertise and knowledge in any relevant field is dangerously irresponsible.
Further, insisting that every reader fully read your treatise and evaluate the claims and arguments "on the merits" is unrealistic, unfair, and fails to acknowledge that virtually all of them also lack the expertise to be able to do so.
