The problem with this piece is that the author's actual expertise is how narrative shapes belief, which is the lens the piece applies. It's structured as a narrative analysis — two communities in a religious war, both captured by stories rather than evidence. That framing is seductive and partially true. But! It requires that the competing scientific claims be treated as roughly equivalent when they are not, otherwise the narrative of the pice doesn't work. So it defaults to "both sides have methodological critics" and then moves on to just anecdotes. That's not a neutral choice it's a conclusion.
