A post on comp.risks points to a different opinion, which includes a
discussion of why the above "review" is mistaken:
https://philbull.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/why-you-can-ignore-reviews-of-scientific-code-by-commercial-software-developers/amp/
Some of the points made were already made in the comp.lang.ada
