I find it stylistically strange to have a long list of negative adjectives end with two positive ones (transparent and well-intentioned are good things, right?) without any explanation. Wouldn’t one say something like “These things suck:...., but on the good side there is also ….”?
I think the “but” was the transition, and that “meticulous” was also intended positively.
As I understood it, no one argues that de-worming does more harm than good.
I was under the impression that specialists worried that mass deworming leads to resistance, by standard evolutionary logic, and so argue that the deworming initiatives are committing a long-term harm for nonexistent short-term gains.

That’s one hypothesis, but there isn’t much compelling evidence for it. Although there is good reason to believe the evidence for mass deworming as the among the ‘best’ interventions in shakey, there is not good reasons to believe it’s a ‘bad’ intervention either.
Stylistically
Style isn’t a big priority to me unless is compromises understandabiltiy by those interested enough to summount readability challenges. I assume that from their ownwards worthy concepts will prolliferate into the broader population.
