It would be helpful if you said why you think it's badly written and thought through - then we can have a punch-up slanging match argument discussion about it.

Essentially it derives objections from subjective thought. It leaps over the boundary of hard solipsism by ignoring it, and in addition it uses the idea of an ad populism definition to ignore it.

In day to day life, nothing. In a logical argument about objectivity, it is  illogical.

Golly - one might almost think you know what you're talking about!
