Sadly, I think there are some confounding factors to the lack of success in this story. If this is the same manner in which the author communicates a scientific theory to the community, it's not exactly surprising it hasn't been received well.
Perhaps it should be that science is entirely disconnected from how it's presented and who by; but in reality, it is still a human pursuit, and in order to be successful at it, you need to appeal to other humans, and you need to do it well. This is true of basically all pursuits involving social groups.
This is, of course, highly critical after reading only a single data point, but it's probably a contributing factor to the frustration here.
