Garrett Hardin (1993: 94) wrote:

Ceven though] John Maynard Keynes had the highest opinion of his contributions to economics, Malthus continues to be bad-mouthed by many of today’s sociologists and economists. The passion displayed by some of his detractors is grossly disproportionate to the magnitude of his errors. A conscientious listing of the explicit statements made by Malthus would, I am sure, show that far more than 95 percent of them are correct. But for any writer who becomes notorious for voicing unwelcome ‘home truths’ a correctness score of 95 percent is not enough.

In your opinion, is this a convincing and substantive defense of Malthus? Discuss.
