i feel like that's the sort of person who could tell if a guy like barks is doing a bad job, we're just as amatuer. there's plenty people who might have the academic & language skills without the artistic chops for poetry or prose, and i don't see what's wrong with them collaborating with a creative type, to justify 'unqualified' people's participation & consulting in a translation process.

by all means this dude might be grifter and distorter or scummy about crediting who helped him but simply needling on qualifications instead of specific translations he made that are wrong and comparing those to correct ones is a weird way to approach the issue
