It's perhaps safe to presume he has an interpretation of the whole thing which he's got to maintain...maybe there was a university administrator with him, so he had to distance himself from more controversial topics lest he lose the schools backing. Or there could be another book on the way that is founded strictly within the F&B parameters.....who knows. But it's saddening to hear that he would deride other rather prominent individuals in such a manner, and in such a public context. Doesn't help the image of academics or the "open consideration of all evidences" .

The author could just say, I don't see enough good evidence. But an author does not make an authority on the evidence. Oh and I do differ with him/her on the homogeneity of vocalizations.
