In science, that is totally irrelevant.

Sure. Feynman was saying that personalities don't matter in science. They don't. But if someone criticizes science and has the science wrong, as Bastardi does, then that isn't an issue of personalities. It is one of objective fact.

Your argument is typical of a denier, When presented with real facts, not alternative ones, you obfuscate and then switch topics while pretending to continue the original argument,

Curry correctly points out that Bastardi has basic facts wrong. Whether it is ignorance or an agenda doesn't matter. You cannot critique something if you get the foundations wrong.

Judith Curry has criticized many aspects of climate change. The problem is, she has managed to discredit herself on more that one occasion. For example, she defended one particular paper and later admitted she hadn't even had read it. She has made the claim that the models are broken. A statement she later claimed was a misquote and that she didn't know where that claim came from. She has a tendency of saying things that she can't provide support for. So this isn't an issue personalities.
