I don't think the author reads losurdo,--his dismissal is the worst thing you could try to claim: that losurdo isn't valued for reading those he disagrees with. Reading Losurdo, his most prominent method is reading his enemies, understanding them, and then using their own words to show their failures (or at least their friends' words).

I enjoyed reading it despite disagreements, but I dont think the writer has understood those he's critiquing
