She means the post has a lot of assumptions and inaccurate statements -
too many to be worth listing individually, and so many that making a point
by point rebuttal would take significant effort just to state each one (let
alone state why that point is an error), possibly more effort than is
warranted.

It is suggested that you go through the post for yourself and see what the
assumptions and inaccurate statements might be, as a first pass.
