Being listed last isn't bad.

It has been found that humans mostly remember that which was said first and last in a long presentation.

As for why it was listed last, I can think of a few reasons, the most logical is that you normally write an article in this sort of order:

Title

Summary

Description

Critics

Conclusion

And it is a fair way of doing it, first presenting the subject and and then critiquing it.
