I agree with you. I didn’t intend to judge him harshly. I was intending to state facts. He's obviously struggling sometimes, and it doesn't come across so well on some articles. But others, like his health pieces, do come across better - possibly because he's quoting studies and is more comfortable in that genre.
My foreign languages are nothing to write home about, so he's much more advanced at foreign languages than me. It is what it is. But that's why some of his stuff is a bit odd - he's wrestling with a foreign language.
