Perhaps you could write to him and put your opinions to him.

While idly browsing Roger's website, I noticed the following:

The Japanese established their first sento in the 13th century, but it
was in the Edo Period (1603-1867) that the culture of bathing as we
know it today took root. No matter how poor people were, they put a
premium on personal cleanliness and hygiene -- something that was
noted, with puzzlement, by the first European missionaries who came
here at that time.

Roger clearly doesn't place a premium on carefully researching his
articles.
