He's debating, just like you and I. Defending his position, just like scientists do.
If you don't like his theories, you can always try to stop his "publication", like they tried to do with Ketchum. She simply did an end-around, but (of course) that was a violation of their rules.
The end result was almost the same:
They discredited her theory of hybrid human by simply destroying its validity exactly like they did Galileo (attacking his violation of their rules of presentation)..........but they failed completely to destroy the growing evidence that these things are human (of the genus Homo). Moreover, with Margaryan's "proof" that Zana was Homo sapien, they are further boxed in to it.......indeed, even tighter. They must posit that Zana's description was embellished (which you just did), and must rule that Patty is a man (Homo sapien) in a suit.
They have no other recourse. No other retreats.
Unless they go with the extraterrestrial escape hatch............
