I disagree -- and who are you to say otherwise?
> Omit the 'of' after 'all' unless you change the meaning of the sentence. (all of)
If I said "all have been wrong", it would have been a bit more difficult to tell what that part of the sentence was referring to; "all of them have been wrong" includes a bit of helpful linguistic redundancy.
> You should avoid using 'thing' - instead, name the entities under discussion.
Again, this phrasing was done for stylistic reasons. "This thing" fits well in tone with "one hell of a".
