I absolutely agree that this is an ad hominem. But I presented it because
EGM thought that Chen's work was independent of the ID movement. It isn't
according to that article I cited. In my mind that is relevant to the truth
or falsity of EGM's claim of independent verification of ID. Seems clear
that this info refutes the claim of independence.
