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