How is the geometric product any less motivated than any other notation? Ultimately the value of a notation is how easy it makes it to work and think. I'm not sure if GA achieves that or not, but what's the harm in trying a new approach?

AFAIK nobody is proposing to replace all of geometry with GA, only 3+1 spacetime.

Author doesn't argue against the idea of choosing a new notation, he makes very detailed arguments about why this specific new notation is clumsy to work with.

I’m just refuting the claim that the article only focuses on ad hominem arguments.
