This seems like a very weak argument. Yes, Aquinas does criticize arguments for the existence of God that he considers weak. But that's in a work that contains other arguments for the existence of God, so the net criticism is coached in an acceptable framework. If Aquinas had merely published the criticisms, it likely would have gotten a different reception.
