No it isn't. He says nothing about what his first choice good national park is. That section is about parks that people say are bad but aren't. His contention is merely that it is fine.

Ah, you're right.

But still, if he is saying that for a national park, Gateway Arch is fine, but the Grand Canyon is about as worthwhile as Times Square Margaritaville and Yosemite valley is comparable to anyplace else in California, I have to believe this is rage bait (or disingenuous engagement bait at best)
