I for one am grateful he commented on this at all.
He has professional experience in this field, and his hunches are worth a thousand completely uninformed responses such as yours.
If you want him to dig through data, email the author, and look up stuff on Wikipedia for you, then how about you pay him before indignantly demanding that he do it?
After receiving backbiting chastisements from the popcorn gallery, I wouldn't be surprised if he refrained from commenting at all next time some similar announcement in his field of expertise came up.
That would be a pity, as his expertise, insight, and any time he cares to spend explaining his field to us are certainly valued.
