I think at worst it reveals that someone who is not a scientist but a public advocate for NDEs has to be trained to understand the need for corroborating data.
Revealing the Emperor has no clothes on is something where a person is exposed as a complete fraud. I'd cite the Patricia Churchland interview as a better example of that.
