Then it follows that some neo-Darwinists are apologists.
***Yup, and you stole the wind from my sails — that’s where I was headed. I was going to drop that one on Coyoteman, but he of course could see it coming from a mile away. That’s probably why he didn’t want to answer the yes or no question.

Ooooopppps, Kevmo -- I didn't mean to! Either way, our tag-teaming friends from "far away" are "hoist on their own petard".... :^)

I will readily concede that many science writers are incompetent or incautious.

I will concede that some competent scientists write rubbish outside their field of training.

I would tend to apply the term apologetics to criticisms of science based on writings rather than on primary data or on widely affirmed theoretical interpretations.
