In regards to the quality of the document; the tables are horrendously formatted and the note numbers are highlighted as if clickable links (blue underlined) like the links at the bottom of the document but are not actually clickable.

You had to research the author on linkedin, rather than simply looking at the bottom of the PDF where he clearly identifies himself as a Sales Engineer?
It's fine to comment on the lack of deep detail, but the way you have conveyed it has just made you sound like an ass.
