What you actually said at the point he links to is:
As I mentioned before, I’ve not gone through Rutherford, Mann et al. to see if they’ve avoided the Bürger and Cubasch criticisms – it would amaze me if they did. For example, Rutherford, Mann et al. astonishingly use the original MBH98 tree ring principal components series in their primary analyses. In fact, I doubt that Rutherford, Mann et al. actually avoid any of the Bürger and Cubasch critiques, but, hey, it’s in Journal of Climate. Andrew Weaver edited it, so what further proof would anyone require.

Anyone who is familiar with this site and can read with understand will realize that what you said is that you hadn’t had the time yet to totally subject that paper to analysis to see how, if at all, it stood up to the Bürger and Cubasch criticisms. That’s a far different thing. But what can you expect from the team (and/or its hangers-on)?
