My mother was an English teacher - as in she immigrated from Great Britain at the age of 12. She supplemented her retirement income by tutoring super nerds and engineering types in English. Those types seem to find writing a challenge while advanced calculus is easy. It has also been my experience (married to a high IQ super nerd engineer type who is one of 3 brothers cut from the same cloth) that their thoughts move too fast for language. That's why they tend to talk in tech shorthand.
Give this guy a break - he did a good job of presenting his arguments.
I'm sure he's going to contact you for grammar assistance the next time he writes something.

You should note that he expects you to click his blog to read those arguments.

He's here to promote his material and for free advertising.

Sorry, but that makes him pretty scummy in my view.
