6. Be careful when an author makes too much of the scientific qualifications of those involved or disparages those who do not agree his/her views; it may mean their argument is weak.

Actually what that means is look at the argument and not the side commentary. Science supporters quite often use insults when the other person is simply repeating already debunked stuff, or even if he just has a reputation for doing so.
