It’s not that I agree with my FB friend; I do trust Kirsch. I just wish Kirsch could (if he had the time) reply directly to people like McKay, who is a researcher (PhD in Psychology).

I don't trust anyone, including myself; I compare all evidence presented by the parties.
Just about always it turns out that the "other side" has just about zero factual responses and constantly uses the typical garden variety of logical fallacies, ranging from appeal to authority to your most typical straw man.
Not to defend Steve in any way, but a person of his infamy usually has a secretary (and if he doesn't, he should get one) to just deal with the inbox. He has more work than there is time.
If McKay wants to challenge Steve, he should just write a substack and publish his questions and corrections -- since he has already gone through the trouble of writing them up.
Finally, McKay has a PhD in Psychology. OK. So what?
I have a PhD in a biomedical discipline (won't dox myself), a very broad and relevant hands-on experience in most parts of a drug development pipeline, my h-index is ~10, and I happen to agree with Steve's questions here and elsewhere (and most of his conclusions). I have minor quibbles, but they don't change the outcome.
