I was simply trying to demonstrate that, something believed to be true by many, has been proven to be incorrect.
It appears to me that you are not interested in serious debate on the subject, but rather petty sport, therefor I digress.
Most things believed by many are untrue. But unless the "beliefs" are the product of methodological naturalism, they are not science and not mistaken science.
I would never argue otherwise.

On the contrary. I would not have spent so much time tracking down Thewissen's articles and trying to find CottShop's promised exposed blatant lies if I wasn't interested in serious debate. I'm just pointing out that the fact that a bunch of people were wrong about something in the past doesn't prove that other people are wrong about a completely other thing in the present. Pointing out flaws in an argument is part of debate.
