I am not sure what background this author has but I’m assuming a good number of people read and approved of the article since it was published (for the public to read) on a government website.

I do not like attacking people directly when they have no ability to respond to the allegation but in this case, but I believe the idea raised is so contentious that it must be addressed. So, that is what I intend to do.
