Are you not doing the same thing that the author is doing? The author has a bias against blockchain, sees blockchain proponents making a poor argument, and that reinforces their bias against blockchains.

You have a bias seemingly in favor of blockchains, you see a blockchain critic making a poor argument, and that reinforces your belief in blockchains.

I think the linked post makes good points (e.g. git and blockchains are related but not broadly comparable) wrapped up in a lot of unnecessary opinion.

Surely the rational approach is to just discount bad arguments, not to treat them as evidence to reinforce the opposite position.
