Oh wow they had a ZKP article not too long ago.
Yeah, it's nice to think that they are stupid but the reality is that they have access to unlimited resources (except bitcoin) and they can hire, support, tenure, research or.... produce misinformation.
So maybe this person knows what he is writing about or maybe he knows too much.

The first author appears to be a professor of economics and co-wrote a crypto book.

One gift I have is that I can read anything by anyone and get something valuable out of it. Another gift is being able to see very large models in text. The mathematics will be my weakness here but that's where the math explains the text and the logic, grammar and connections have to work in the equation and in the syntax.
Another lesson I've learned is not to read everything but to scan and grab. I usually grab the turd quickly.
This is where peer reviewed science gets is ass kicked.
Anyway, the wrong people will not be interested and the right people will dismantle the argument and the good old boy drinking club will reveal itself.
Finally, by pointing to things that I see smarter people will show me details that I, as a big picture guy, missed. Then I will deeply investigate the smaller big picture and again I will bark.
