Read and yes it does sound like it was written by a college drop out so I believe it is genuinely from Dan Snyder.
I teach a class on technique used by science deniers to push an agenda. It involves five components:
Fake experts: Presenting an unqualified person or institution as a source of credible information
Logical Fallacies: Arguments where the conclusion doesn’t logically follow from the premises.
Impossible Expectations: Demanding unrealistic standards of certainty before acting on the science
Cherry Picking: Carefully selecting data that appear to confirm one position while ignoring other data that contradicts that position.
Conspiracy Theory: Proposing that a secret plan exists to implement a nefarious scheme such as hiding a truth.
In those four short paragraphs Dan has utilized three of those techniques quite well bravo Dan, this was a text book example of denial technique.
