The namedropping critique has merit, but I included the link on the assumption Sotter could look it up.

Without getting too into the weeds, I don't completely agree with Popper on his thesis, and I think his demarcation between physical and social sciences was overreach, but his attack on Plato was a necessary hatchet job to dispel traditional classicist's mystique that turned a blind eye to Plato's nastier ideas. David Brin did something similar on Tolkien, and a similar attack on the nastier elements of Shakespeare is long overdue...
