Likely this part at the beginning that exposed the author's anti-intellectualism/ignorance:
"The majority of literature on machine learning, however, is riddled with complex notation, formulae and superfluous language. It puts walls up around fundamentally simple ideas."
That's what got me, it's such a flat out stupid thing to say. Especially the "puts walls up" phrasing to imply that math beyond what the author understands is a conspiracy. Especially from someone who writes code ... which is full of "complex notation", symbols and "superfluous classes/libraries/error checking/abstractions" by the same absurd reasoning.
