I actually agree with this. The movie is predicated on a thing that does everything, and a person who knows everything, and that's a pretty cheap way to build a plot.
Spoiler Alert: Disclosure Day isn't really about aliens or anything like that. It's about magical glow sticks that are never explained or exposited, but comprise the overwhelming bulk of the plot. They also do whatever Spielberg and Koepp need them to do whenever the plot runs aground.
