Their key argument seems to be that most scholars are liberal, therefore they cannot be trusted to translate the bible.

I am not sure he wants to inadvertently link people who are educated to liberalism but obviously people have such education should not be trusted to translate the bible. Much better to have ill-educated internet trolls to translate it in a manor more fitting their political views. None of this "do onto others" rubbish.
