I think the actual criticism is more along the lines of "It's so complicated that it's incredibly unlikely this guy has been truly successful."

Which is all well and good when they're merely experimenting on themselves. But this guy has gone from tinkering to claiming success and safety and begun distribution.
That's beyond tinkering and well into tampering.
He should absolutely feel free to tinker and explore and even publish his recipes and personal data for anyone similarly-motivated to build upon. But there's a line between doing that and doing what he's begun, the way he's begun it.
