It is "misplaced" because neither one of the snot-nosed punks has the slightest clue what they are talking about. Nor do they know how to distinguish real experts from clueless bozos.
The end result is that virtually every one of their conclusions is not only wrong, they are laughably wrong.
Meigs & PM, on the other hand, also had no clue about these subjects. And yet, virtually every one of their conclusions is right on the money.
Why is it that the PM folks get it so right, while the snot-nosed punks get it so wrong?
Because the PM folks are NOT arrogant. They do not attempt to come to their own conclusions in a hundred different matters that are outside of their particular field of expertise (which is publishing magazines). The PM guys showed the superb judgment of suppressing their inclinations to publish their own baseless, amateur conclusions, and instead defer to 100s of experts, real experts, who opined within the confines of their particular expertise.
Avery & Bermas were too arrogant to defer to experts.
Time after time after time, the punks offered the opinions of jokers who have zero background in the field, and buttressed by their own useless conclusions. ALL of the above conclusions untainted by knowledge, experience or expertise.

What was Dylan & Bermas' field of expertise? Well, they had none.
They were aspiring film students (& ultimately college dropouts), who attempted to make a documentary (read "factually correct") film. To no experienced person's surprise, they failed miserably in their first attempt. (& 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th attempts as well.)
Some levels of stupid are so monumental, they can only emerge from academia.
In one sense, the punks' assumed task was not too different from day job of the folks at PM, who also attempt to deliver factually correct information to their audiences, month after month after month. (Although the medium is different: magazine vs. film).
Why were PM successful at their effort, while the punks so dismal?
Precisely because the PM folks are experienced professional at THEIR field: filtering facts from nonsense & presenting facts.
Why were the punks such utter failures at the same task? Because they were (and still are) abject amateurs at performing that same task.
Their subsequent career paths prove beyond doubt that they possessed zero ability in that job.
