Congratulations on your success! I'm actually familiar with the author's past talks and research, and am not just assuming he's competent because he lists his affiliation with Princeton.
I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the field of socio-technical systems. It is related to (but not the same as) "ML/DL", and it is important to know about if you are doing research in CS. A good place to start is the FAT* conference [0] (which was previously a workshop at NeurIPS).
Regarding manual scoring: The author cites this study [1] and specifically says: "This is a falsifiable claim. Of course, I’m willing to change my mind or add appropriate caveats to the claim if contrary evidence comes to light. But given the evidence so far, this seems the most prudent view." so by all means, do reach out to him with better evidence.
