I'd say, if you find yourself writing an article about how you don't need to bother to understand someone, that's a sign you should stop writing and start reading.
Dr. Krauss even said that he didn't need to bother to understand theologians in the article itself: "I began my lecture with the somewhat glib remark that it was important for the theologians to listen to me, but not as important for me, as a scientist, to listen to them."
