I love how the dissenting opinion just gets a single-line mention at the end of the article:

Certainly better than no mention. At least this seeds doubt and could trigger people interested to look further.

True, but it also paints it in a bad light. (i.e. "There was this old guy in the corner that didn't want to believe our new and cool ideas, but we just ignored him.")
