Oh, but of course
@MBarany didn’t say anything remotely like “everything wrong”. He specifically pointed to the bit touching on the history of probability. And anyone who is actually interested in criticism wld simply ask for clarification—instead of knee-jerk deflection.
I wrote "Not sure what you're complaining about. Furstenberg's and Margulis's work obviously is not probability theory." How is that not asking for clarification?
