Herewith, my review of the response to a critique of 29 evidences: It's tough slogging. The guy should simply have rewritten the original essay. He could have used Darwin's technique at various points and said something like: "Those who dispute this point by arguing X are in error because ..." Actually, he did. From the opening paragraphs of the response:
My response has been two-fold. First, I have incorporated new material into the original essay that specifically addresses many of Camp's points, and thus much of his response is now superfluous. Second, in the following sections I rebut the more egregious errors found in Camp's criticism, especially ones that would interrupt the flow and thrust of the original article if they were included there.

Actually, he did. I know. That's why I started to read it. But it just didn't flow, so I bailed. Maybe I wasn't in the mood. Or maybe Darwin was a better writer.
