He's arguing about the science at least in part, and as the haier piece shows, he didn't pull it out of his ass. The issue is how sure he was in certain claims.
To me, where he fails is in not taking the concerns and arguments of the left seriously. He doesn't seek out the best of the criticism of Murray, or any of the "forbidden knowledge." Ezra nails it in his piece here...
"As I have argued in this piece, I don’t think Murray’s read of this issue is persuasive. But if donning his perspective becomes a form of bravery, if it becomes a way for young white men to rebel against protest culture and prominent pundits to declare independence from groupthink, it will become much more appealing. From my read of the alt-right, it already has.
One problem with the political correctness debate, however, is we’re quick to demand a sense of proportion and prudence from college protesters even as we ignore related sins of partiality and overreaction in nationally recognized commentators. I often see pundits — Harris included — who seem far more afraid of “PC culture” than the problems PC culture is trying to address. On some level, that’s understandable. If you’re a white male pundit who trades in controversial opinions, PC culture probably does pose more of a threat to you than the inequalities it means to fight."
