Good point. The "Theory of Evolution" could be called the "Tangerine of Evolution" and it wouldn't make a whit of difference; facts are still facts; data is still data. When the facts & data aren't on one's side, what is one to do but drag in irrelevant points (like the definitions of words, moral 'implications' of believing a theory, or a theory's founder 'recanting' it on his deathbed).
IMO, when engaged in a discussion, not a good idea to let the other person drag these irrelevant points out - best to stick to the science after making a curt point. (If only I could learn to follow my own advice...)
Love your new tagline :-).
