Least qualified? That is some massive hyperbole. My guess is your opinion is somewhat clouded by your Neo comment (which has some truth to it and made me laugh).

Clean code was thought provoking when it came out and helped a lot of us become better developers.

I would argue that it is now starting to show its age. Languages and IDEs have changed massively since the books release. As such, the usefulness of the book is much less than during its original release.

Least qualified, as in, he has a dangerously overfed ego. A preened ego disqualifies even the smartest person from teaching others reliably.
