Perhaps a little bit of that and a little bit of the hordes of misguided people misunderstanding his arguments and then spreading their own misinformation around. And not to mention the opportunists who sieze at the argument as a way to defend their own pseudoscientific beliefs. That was, in part, why I didn't take his argument seriously at first. I had recieved it through second-hand sources.
(In my experience what happens in practice is his perspective is unconsciously conflated with mysterianism (maybe through slippery slope reasoning) which prompts rationalized flag-wavings-dressed-as-arguments that dog whistle 'we must heap lots of positive affect on Science, it works really well' or 'science doesn't have all the answers, we have to make room for [vague intuition about institutions that respect human dignity, or something]' depending.)
