It's a winner, no doubt about it. But the other guy was good for frequent laughs. The current situation just isn't interesting at all.

How about this ?

"Perhaps in matters of formal logic, yes, arguments from incredulity hold no water. But science is not pure, formal logic, nor does it need to use formal logic in order to be "scientific."

And then,

"Much good science is born of hunches, as well as logical fallacies."
