As MarchHare said it's not about the writing style, it's about the content. The reasoning.

Often a young earth creationist's (for the sake of example) claims can be refuted simply because they are flawed reasoning. And Collins does this in his book. But then he will use the same flawed reasoning to support his own conclusions.

It's human, we all do it.

Flawed reasoning also doesn't make one wrong, but it does make one's conclusions invalid (in the way a stopped clock can happen to be correct, but it's not a valid way to tell time).
