There was stuff about which he said questionable things, but not while

  I once jotted down something like

ˈɹʷʊˑuɿ ᵊɹ̩

  and this guy was like, "I don't think that 'u' is stressed!".

  He totally misunderstood the "half-long" mark as a stress
  indicator! Pretty wild for a linguist who's written a whole
  book on writing systems.

  Just goes to show he's not even on top of his own game!
