Why does he dismiss the RC and EO for appealing to Tradition when he claims to do the same?

He doesn't appeal to "capital T" Tradition, which the Roman Catholics consider of equal authority to Scripture and which the Eastern Orthodox consider the overarching category of which Scripture is but one part. He appeals to tradition, the teachings and practices of the church universal; yet these are only authoritative insofar as they are in agreement with Scripture.

But despite the very real differences, the modern Evangelical position shares one major flaw with both the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox positions. Each results in autonomy.

So, Evangelicals appeal to themselves for autonomy and it's wrong.
RC and EO appeal to their ministers for authority and it's wrong.
Reformers appeal to their ministers for authority and it's right.

Many modern Evangelicals submit the Scripture to their own authority (i.e., "how I read the Bible is right, and I don't need to consider what anyone else says"), and the RC and EO submit the Scripture to clerical authority (i.e., "whatever the Magisterium says is the correct interpretation of Scripture"). Reformed believers submit all things to the authority of Scripture (i.e., "whatever Scripture says is true, and we must endeavor to understand all things in its light").

He admits that he believes in the canon, so we know he appeals to Tradition so that puts him right on par with the RC and EO, thus, one of the several contradictions I find in this article.

The canon is inherently authoritative, since it contains the revealed Word of God. It is not authoritative because the church says so.
