I'm not dismissing the paper, I still have it bookmarked. But I already don't like an author who can't write the first 9 pages convincingly and then require the reader to read the rest of it.
I'm also seeing this paper circulated on social media so I automatically start squinting when random people start promoting it that way. A quick search on Google shows that the author has had a 10 year long back and forth disagreement with cognitive linguists such as Chomsky's colleagues. That's a bit of omitted context that this social media amplification does not help with when portraying ongoing research debates.
