I don’t find this critique strong at all. This essay seems to largely evade the main arguments brought forth by the hoaxers and retreat to attacking the imperfect mapping to Mein Kampf. The hoaxers did not care so much that their paper mapped perfectly or even mapped well to Mein Kampf... the significance is that they got articles published and accepted in the first place, without having any formal education on the subject. Their writing was largely nonsensical and lacked rigor. Their statistics didn’t make sense, etc. The author ends the essay stating, “the gleeful efforts to humiliate other academics has nothing to do with a wish to preserve the integrity of science; it is an ideological and political crusade against an entire field of science simply because of its connection to feminism, social justice, and the fight for equality.” This conclusion is completely undefended by the essay...
