Just because he gets 1 or 2 things right doesn't mean he gets anything else right.
Agreed, and the corrollary to that is just because he gets some things badly wrong doesn't mean he gets everything wrong, though it does ring the warning alarm on my skept-o-meter.
So far, other than the raw/high-meat aspect, he seems to get everything else wrong re dairy/green juices/cooked carbs.
You at least also agree with him that cooked carbs are bad, you just disagree on the severity. His comments about cooked carbs also happen to match my experience, so they ring true from my perspective and perhaps we could say that his warnings about the severity of cooked carb badness apply to some people, like me, and apparently him, but not to all people, such as you. So perhaps he is partially correct on that one.

What pains me, most though, is his emphasis on eating faeces and urine. He admittedly mentions wild animals doing so, but many are herbivores which need special bacteria to predigest certain plant-matter or have inefficient digestive systems like rabbits who need to eat their faeces one more time in order to properly digest their food. And high-meat is so chock-full of bacteria that I don't think it's necessary for Aajonus to claim cures re cancer from eating faeces. As someone once said, Aajonus is a really bad symbol for going raw, his claims re cures for multiple, unrelated diseases sound too good to be true etc. I will accept, though, that even I was convinced that I would never dare try high-meat when I first contemplated going rawpalaeo.
Interesting, Aajonus didn't discuss coprophagia in either of his last two radio interviews or in any of the written interviews of him that I read, so I wasn't aware of this aspect of his program. I agree with you on this and thanks for the heads up on it. AFAIK, in the wild coprophagia has only been observed among animals that eat plant-heavy diets deficient in certain nutrients like B12. I know of no wild carnivores or plentiful-meat-eating omnivores that practice coprophagia, so if Aajonus is advocating that for primal dieters it makes no sense to me either. The only advocates and practitioners of urine drinking or coprophagia I have encountered before were people who consumed plenty of plant foods (such as old-fashioned Hindu-Indian vegetarians and agrarian folk remedy advocates).
Again, I'm trying to avoid criticizing Aajonus too much until I've learned more about his views, but I do agree that he has not appeared to me to be an optimal representative of raw eating. I feel that his appearance on The Doctors, where he was put up as a laughing stock, was another example where he did not represent it well (although that could be attributed in large part to editing made to make him appear stranger--which is a common TV show tactic to boost ratings), and some of his more bizarre remarks, provided largely without evidence or explanation, in each of his interviews also troubled me. If he is advocating coprophagia, then that strengthens my feeling on this.
Then again, I originally thought high-meat was bizarre, so I'm not going to rule out the possibility that I might learn something else of value from him. Learning about high meat alone was of sufficient value to convince me to see if there's anything else I can glean from him. Aajonus seems to be an example of how even the strangest eccentrics can sometimes teach us some things and sometimes seem to have creative insights that the conformists in society miss. However, if he advocates coprophagia and the TV folks get wind of it, that will probably spell the end of any potential he might have for people taking him seriously on a national level.
