I found Kantipalo's assessment to be skewed by "re-birth-view", and unhelpful.

The misapprehension of the Buddha's final assessment betrays a failure to grasp the lesson of a paradigm shift away from blind faith in speculative views, and toward critical thinking and rational empiricism.

The uncertainty and hesitancy of the following declarations indicate to me that the writer is merely guessing about what he knows he does not truly understand, because he is unable to see outside the box of his own k/r superstition beliefs.
