I looked at the website. Here are some of the things they harp on:

She said 50 feet when really it’s less, more like 15 feet. Is that seriously what you’re going against? Misjudging distance?

Then she says feet stomping on stone. What’s the problem with that? That the floor isn’t stone? Oh no, the entire story must be false!

You know the old story about the Rav giving a drasha? He says, “So many people here take the train every morning. Let’s say one day you’re trying to make the 7:14 train, but you’re running late.”

He goes on to compare the train to teshuva, and running, while the train is waiting, etc. A very nice drasha. At the end, one man comes up to him and says, “Rabbi, your speech was completely wrong. The train doesn’t come at 7:14. There’s a 7:08 and a 7:23, but no 7:14 train!”

The guy obviously completely missed the point, and is discounting everything on a stupidity. They are doing the same thing.
