The poster was simply saying how old wisdom may get incorporated into a religious practice. The hypothesis being that the posture in Islamic prayer may have been part of something secular, yet helpful before it got incorporated into the religion. No one is being denigrated.
Update: I missed that last sentence, so It's understandable why you would see denigration.

I think there is something to look at here. What if Muslims, through bending over for prayer, did have less gastric distress/acid reflux. That would be interesting to see with this study.
