I did post a criticism of the idea behind the post, long before I made this one, which got to 6. So did several others, all of whom got to 10+. Significantly fewer comments are being voted up for defending the broad attack on the heuristic. This is inconsistent with the post’s rating, and a problem with this post only.
I see no reason to justify having done anything different. Maybe if I didn’t mention the name “Alicorn”, perhaps, but I strongly suspect someone else would have done it for me if I didn’t.
Any other suggestions? That I haven’t already taken?

More frustrating than the high karma, to me, is that neither the author nor anyone else has attempt to rebut these criticisms.
True. I’ve just posted a more detailed criticism as a how-to.
