(English usage: “allows” doesn’t take an infinitive, but a description of the action that is allowed, or the person that is allowed, or phrase combining both. The description of the action is generally a noun, usually a gerund. e.g. ”… in particular because it allows diagnosing hypocritical arguments …”)
You are “allowed to diagnose” and I may “allow you to diagnose” but I would “allow diagnosis” in general, rather than “allow to diagnose”. It is an odd language we have.

Thanks, I’m trying to fight this overuse of infinitive. (Although it still doesn’t sound wrong in this case...)

Yes, “allowed to” is very different than “allow”.
