Why have you even bothered privileging this hypothesis?

This is a misuse of the 'privileging this hypothesis' phrase. A barely relevant hypothetical is not a hypothesis. Such a hypothetical could be used rhetorically in order to advocate an implicit privileged hypothesis but that is not what the author has done here.

(This means only that you need a different name for your objection.)
