My greatest problem with Gladwell (and the New Yorker as a whole) is how he tries to write objectively, when it is clear where his opinion stands. Purporting to write objectively is a facade in validating the ideas behind supposed white sterile labs. To go in hand with the "abuse of data" as you wrote above, very few things are truly objective (even axioms are widely-held beliefs), and part of my problem with Malcolm is this "abuse of data." He doesn't inject enough of himself to support this academic feel.
