Rather, the point is that a blog article by a hobbyist ("citizen scientist") just isn't worth looking at.
Because you disagree with the numbers? Oh that's right you found it too difficult to check.
Because you like your "appeals to Authority"?

You seem to be one of those people who believe in the Gamblers Fallacy.
If you take a number of temperature readings with a thermometer that has accuracy of +/-0.5C, the accuracy doesn't improve for the averaged product. The accuracy stays the same, +/-0.5C.
Like the Sea Level Rise using the Jason satellite series. They have an accuracy of 3.3cm or 33mm. Yet claim they can tell the SLR to within 0.1mm.
And all that with an earth that is ellipsoid, subject to tidal influence, waves, storm surge among others. And they can tell SLR down to the merest windblown ripple.

You just don't have the toolset.
Who needs it when the "tool" is you?
Just proving my point.
