Nothing you have said changes the fact that the battle is fought on MANY levels. If a popular science rag got the import of the original research wrong, that is their problem. If someone writes an article about Marxian economics based on some stupid socialist book that nobody has ever heard of, that should not prevent economists from AEI, Heritage, Hoover, Discovery, or the Mises institute from pointing out the fallacies contained therein. If the original article contains errors, said responses will serve to highlight them, and if need be, the original socialist author can come out of the woodwork and correct the mistakes of the lesser socialist. Same thing applies in the popular science press IMHO.

Rhetorical nonsense. The only one fighting a battle here is you. It’s still a strawman criticism, and as such, a fallacy.
