7 pages to debunk a semantic misunderstanding? Hardly worth getting excited over.

A gene whose expression increases its chance of getting passed to subsequent generations quite naturally should experience an increase in expression over time.

How is this controversial again?

Since it took Dawkins a whole book to re-define altruism to mean selfishness (1984 style) the author cannot be faulted on this. Perhaps you should direct your ire at Dawkins for his dishonesty.
