Yeah he just makes stuff up.
He will make up a reference, then say a 10 minute youtube synopsis of a study based on 10,000 hours of observation is useless and can't possibly contain anything useful.
And I have a reference.

completely lacking in scientific rigor.
failure to defend premise.
easy to understand why broadcasts would repeatedly come under fire.
I don't see any real science demonstrated, only effective marketing attempts towards an audience which is more uninformed than the author.
an un-regulated, non-juried internet is a double-edged sword.
caveat emptor.
Pretty much anything he doesn't agree with is always wrong, or the person who wrote it is stupid or lives in a trailer park. He spends more time digging up dirt on the messenger than the what's in question.
