That puts not only that specific argument, but everything else started by
him also in the same category, because we will ask using tarka if those
words have bhAShyAkSharabahirbhAvatva or are they bhAshyAkSharAvachChinna?

True. The others who fall in such a category and thereby, helped me avoid
studying their works, are:
--Prabhupadaji who says that one shouldn't study anyone's purport of Gita
because one will understand only as much one is fit to understand Gita in
that janma! His purport also fell in the same category suggested to avoid.
--Jiddu K used to say that one doesn't need a guru. By teaching others
that, that too standing on a platform, he acted like a guru breaking his
own rule or asking others not to follow him.

Ergo, SSS too who urged to avoid anything that is not shuddha shAnkara
bhAShya has kept not only vyAkhyAnas away, but made his own works out of
it, by being bhAShyAkSharAnavachChinna.
