Not defending the conclusions of his article, but Shalizi does address at least one of the points you say he doesn't. In the section titled "How to make 2766 independent abilities look like one g factor" he explains why he's not impressed by correlations between performance on different tests. I don't know enough to properly judge the quality of his argument, but it is there.
I think Shalizi addresses the other point as well, in the part about "MSICS scores".
I haven't had time to read the Geoffrey Miller paper he links to in that section, but based on what I know of reading Miller's other work, that certainly sounds like a caricature of Miller's views.
