To be completely honest, provided that the science in the paper is on target, aren't the editorializing comments secondary anyway?

This seems to be an engineering paper. That is to say, it looks at hand coordination from an engineering perspective. And engineering is a design system.
Yes, the language used was unfortunate. But I think the criticism has been a tad excessive.
