I think I got that part. But the post was still nearly incomprehensible.

Also, given that most people lack the qualifications "to judge the actual science soundly", (and many lack the brains) that premise suggests that either no one except scientists should criticize anything or, that everyone should criticize everything -- even though we lack basis.

(or, did I get that backwards? I can't tell anymore.)
