I wouldn't. I use a throwaway for multiple years myself lol. And he or she could just use some friend's anonymous account.

And I like how you request good faith review of a guy who is part of the team busy dismantling US government from the inside. Like who would even think to review that if not because of it. What matters is is it correct or not.

I think you're bending over backwards here to rationalize this 'review'. Assuming this person does use throwaway accounts as you suggest, you'd have to believe that in February of last year, they were busy writing a dice-guessing game and a rock-paper-scissors implementation and in February of this year, they are experienced enough to write a lengthy critique of the architecture of someone else's project. A review, by the way, that is longer than the code it criticizes.

If you believe that, that's fine. I don't.

As for the correctness of the 'review', it is absolutely nuts. Total nonsense.

Or teaching their kid. Or it was their friend. Etc.

You're bending over backwards to judge it on reputation in a case where there would not be one. If it's nonsense on merit then criticize that
