Completely dismissed the article because I don't like the author (or the subject). Never read the actual arguments. Well, except the ones you just quoted, which are ironic because

    “Every individual is an exception to the rule,” he wrote; to “stick labels on people at first sight,” in his view, was “nothing but a childish parlor game.”

this is what he spends all of his books doing, so that people with money to burn will burn it on him.

That's effectively the same though.

I mean, I also don't like Malcolm Awfulbad, but I have to really hate an author to completely dismiss all their past and future work.
