Yep, most efforts at 'debunking' I've seen complain more about how shots were sequenced; the way the film is edited, they say, "gives the impression" that such and such is a moron, or callous, etc. They can't peg it on much, factually, though. They don't like the "impressions" it gives about those who believe in political views. There is also a lot of the "he has an agenda"-type stuff. As does anyone making a documentary.
