That's not a strong argument. The natural "translation" of your first sentence would be something like: "This work does not simply dismiss the passive voice as a tool to avoid responsibility."
The author's name doesn't come into it, and there is no reason to transform "does not dismiss" into the much stronger "promotes".

There's a reason you pay the author for the book and you don't pay me. Let's see you argue something better instead of just taking potshots at people who bother to try, jerk.
