A hypothesis itself, certainly as stated by Hedges, can itself be abuse in the sense it is an unqualified accusation of dishonesty.  It can be answered, but requires stepping away from his particular value system.
For example, maybe not everyone gets to thrive.  Even in that situation (which is the norm) there can still be a debate about how orderly and transparent the system is that leads to allocation of shared resources.
