Strong disagreements with Pinker are strong evidence for poor reasoning, but much weaker evidence for being wrong.

The blog post itself and its comments are pretty compelling evidence for poor rationality skills under stress, most notably the Malthus bit, as people other than myself have mentioned.

I endorse lots of books with fairly bad reasoning.
