You lost me in the first sentence. It's an odd turn of phrase to claim the essay's conclusion was a "miss" just because it doesn't align with your ideology. It's more honest to just say you disagree with the conclusion.

What is the distinction you're making between calling something "a miss" and disagreeing with it?

Calling it “a miss” implies an objective truth, saying you disagree with something shows that’s just your opinion. Second one is more honest.
