Well, I can't argue with that. I'm just going by the intro paragraph in the article.

If your argument is "I know this guy and I consider his opinion worthless" you might want to lead with that.

It is not worthless. But you have to evaluate the argument on its own, not act as if it from some authority on the topic because it is from some googler.

Oh, I see where you're coming from. Yes, quite right. I'm definitely not saying "Well, he must be right because he's a super smart Google researcher."
