Warning: Raving ranting opinion ahead. Please return to your

front of you.

I looked through the article.
Then I gargoyled Alice Friedman and did some looking at what 
she says and does.
She doesn't seem totally stupid. Doesn't seem totally 
malicious. Does seem to care somewhat.

But, the above article is utterly terrible. It contains much 
truth, but it's interlaced with half truth, misuse, 
overstatement, understatement exaggeration and more. While 
it makes some good points I would not recommend it to anyone 
as a balanced view.

If she really is really convinced that Hydrogen is so bad, 
and if she understands what she is talking about, then she 
should present an objective and balanced assessment, fair 
(or even just meaningful) comparisons, and show that she 
knows what she is talking about. Otherwise people are liable 
to just grimace and move on. She may perhaps get a few fence 
sitters, and the choir are probably happy being preached to, 
but as a fair analysis of the prose and cons it was 
surprisingly and disturbingly lacking.
