If you want to know what Scott Aaronson means by it, well, you could ask him or read the rest of his writings on the subject.
I don't expect this particular rhetorical flourish to have as consistent a meaning as you seem to want it to have.
Scott Aaronson's statement was simply a starting point. I don't think all people (not necessarily Scott Aaronson himself) who say "I mostly agree with them" mean the same thing. This post is speculative, it is about one possibility. It merely asks a simple question "If we assume this very simple model, what could be its implications?" [Edit: added this to the post itself]. As you can see, this post is of "what if" type, not "well researched" type. In this post I merely try to explore one possible answer to the question "how is it that some people disagree with particular statements yet say that they mostly agree with the movement, whereas other people seem to disagree with nearly exactly the same particular sentences yet claim they disagree with the movement?".
