No, it was aimed at Darwinian scientists, as both you & he clearly wrote, just above.

Are not Dennett and Dawkins Darwinian scientists?

But the neo-Darwinian advocates claim to be scientists, and we can legitimately expect of them a more open spirit of inquiry.
Instead, they assume a defensive posture of outraged orthodoxy and assert an unassailable claim to truth,
--- which only serves to validate the Creationists' criticism that Darwinism has become more of a faith than a science.

Can you agree, AndrewC?

For these particular scientists described in this article, yes absolutely.
It is heartening to understand that they had recognized something quite profound.

But his "accusation" was aimed at those mentioned at the beginning of his article, Dennett and Dawkins.

You make my point. Shapiros conclusion is flawed, -- a fact petty wordplay can't change.
