The criticism was mostly very well founded. Just because you don't understand it, that does not mean that it is unfounded. Just because a civil engineer only tells you that a newly built bridge will collapse in about 30 years due to corrosion and then a day later someone points out that you can make it fall down right now by parking trucks on it from end to end, that does not mean that the warning of the civil engineer was unfounded, it simply means that she pointed out a different weakness, and possibly one that you lack the knowledge to tell whether it is reasonable or not. Or in short: We don't generally consider things safe until they collapse/explode/poison/... and people are actually dead. When an expert understands that something is not safe anymore for reasons that you don't understand, that still is a well-founded reason for considering it unsafe.
