Objectively superficial because it looked at only one data point, flawed because it generalized from the one data point without consideration of the actual, documented effects of similar measures (the same mistake someone else just made in this thread).
Or, you know, the blog might just have totally mischaracterized the staff recommendations (the same "mistake" somebody else just documented in this thread).
If the case against legislative mandate is so strong, make it. The attack on the commissioners themselves is just stupid and beside the point. If you actually look at the recommendations as a whole, treating them this badly because you disagree with this one aspect is a pretty stupid thing to do politically as well as rhetorically.
Seriously, do people think they were bought off by Bell or something?
