I'm sorry, I've read the paper, seen absolutely nothing wrong with it (and seemingly neither have other experts in the field, as I've yet to see any peer-reviewed rebuttal of its findings), and definitely trust an expert on food sustainability from Oxford and an agroecology expert from Agroscope as well as their publicly available and well-reasoned findings compared to some rando on the Internet who just whines with zero elaboration that LCAs are "abused" and can't seem to figure out that they could've said all this in one comment instead of four.
I bet Poore and Nemecek would've figured out how to use the "edit" button. (And yes, I did link to the correct article, as the only attempt I could find to debunk this paper was from, again, a disinformation outlet whose lies are explored in that AFP article.)
their objection had nothing to do with mine
I've read it too, and enough of it's references to understand that LCAs are not transferable between studies, and so all the LCA analysis must be disregarded.
I also have looked at enough of the source LCA data to understand that much of the water and land use (and GHG emissions) attributed to animal agriculture is actually a conservation of those same resources, as they come from second-and- third uses of crops.
your attack on my style does not address the substance of my objections. it is pure sophistry.
