Even though some parts are indeed loaded with emotion aswell as gloss
(I've never seen Larry write differently) Larry does makes some points
and shows inconsistencies in the article.

A real scientist would keep emotions out of it, yet when do we see
this happen in real life? When the journal Nature called for the
burning of Sheldrake's book?
Larry's present style suits him and the spirit he writes in well. It
would of course never do in formal scientific discussion.
