My critique was not aimed at the scientific method itself nor at constraints faced by researchers. I was aiming more towards the sneering attitude that published research is the only valid method of drawing a conclusion, especially at the person level.

One published paper is not a valid method of drawing a conclusion. Studying references, citations and related papers is.
