I suspect that the reason Ebert responded was because Rosenbaum's piece was printed in the New York Times, the most widely read, and probably respected, newspaper in the country. No doubt he feared that a neophyte not familiar with Bergman might avoid Bergman based upon Rosenbaum's piece. To the extent that his response prevented some of those neophytes from seeking Bergman, I think his response was a service.
