As you note, there are some who disapprove -- if *some* is a non-inconsequential number wouldn't this constitute *overall disapproval*? FWIW I'm indifferent to the syntax, but it reads just fine to me. Still, I'm sure there's something better lurking. Especially if it's true that since it's infix it could be nearly anything. IMHO "begets" is pretty winful.
