Early consensus seems to be he doesn't understand the technology well enough. Maybe this could be stated as he's too "subjective"? He does appear to base all of his statements on his listening sessions.
That seems to be nearly the opposite approach of Peter Aczel, so they don't seem comparable, as someone posted...IMO.
Follow Ups:
...when Aczel started The Audio Critic, in issue #1 he compared about 27 different preamps by ear and came up with one no one had heard of as the winner - the Rappaport which was in business only a couple of years - over the Levinson JC-2 which is considered a classic today.
"Crackpot" means no one trust their results or has duplicated them that I'm aware of.
I've read several articles by Aczel. My general impression is he's an objectivist. He likes data, compares amps based on their waterfall and other plots (didn't he have a cube plot or something such?...I didn't go Google it).
The fact that you found some ancient (first issue!) article disputing this generalization doesn't make it wrong. I suspect most would agree with my assessment, though as I said, I've not read his articles thoroughly.
My assessment of you is you like to argue everything, and pull esoteric facts from obscure places attempting to back it up. You would have sucked at debate team.
Does this place have an "ignore" button?
