"While Tao reached his conclusion after a lengthy (and public) rumination about the document, Fortnow and Aaronson apparently dismissed it outright (without even a hint where they suspected the problems lie). This generates a justified suspicion that their publicly expressed extremely quick reaction was not based on purely scientific grounds. It is very likely that future P/NP proofs will rely on mathematics which only "humble pure mathematicians" will have access to, and we will be spared this kind of unprofessional behavior."

Fortnow and Aaronson aren't even in Tao's league either.

Honestly, if Terrence Tao is humble, everyone should be
