Not irrational imo; quite reasonable in fact. But reflects the cultural difference between countries. US hardly uses Stableford system whereas UK Aus and others use it extensively. I agreee with his argument that Par is not a good measure of difficulty, so should not be a consideration for/component of handicapping.Many of DK's objections are rooted in an irrational hatred of "par", and have very little mathematical validity (I'd actually contest no validity given the margins for error inherent in the system).
