Gleb's article is about as rigorous as a (non-famous) academic author can be to still get published in the popular press.
Um, no, unless your definition of "popular press" excludes things like the New York Times and the like. A random sprinkling of buzzwords is not rigor.
Would he be allowed to add a link or two for people who want more background?
I actually had to struggle to get them to put in as many links as they allowed. They wanted links to Salon pieces, while I kept insisting on making more links to academic pieces. It's always a trade-off when going to a popular source like Salon, and James is right, it is about as rigorous as one can get in a venue like Salon. These are the trade-offs that are required if one chooses to spread rationality broadly.
Editors often remove links and usually don't like there being too many.
