Not sure how it&#x27;s damning. The premise of the article isn&#x27;t Maxwells equation and the point of the quoted text isn&#x27;t the validity of that specific claim but rather that there are objective definitions.<p>In other words it might be a wrong scientific claim right there (I don&#x27;t know enough about Maxwells equation) but that doesn&#x27;t mean that it&#x27;s damaging the rest of the article since it&#x27;s not a scientific point that it&#x27;s trying to make but a philosophical one.<p>I am not saying it&#x27;s ok to be sloppy or wrong just that sometimes right conclusions and useful perspectives can happen even though some of the details are wrong.<p>It&#x27;s not a scientific paper and as far as I read it shouldn&#x27;t be read as such IMO.<p>But each to their own of course.
