I just think his over the top reaction is funny. "This chart is presented as a quintessential example of the failings of advanced statistics! Why is it a good example? Because I say so! Further, I shall now attribute extreme and unlikely beliefs to this individual I have never met, because his work yields conclusions that displease me!"

It's... a chart. The extreme reactions it provokes for coming to a conclusion that doesn't mirror the standings (which, I mean, just look at the standings if that's all that matters to you) would be baffling if not for that whole human nature thing.
