    I hope you realize that IDers will use these as examples of how the
    scientific consensus was proven wrong. And if it was wrong so many times in
    the past, perhaps it's wrong again!

    For true scientists, admitting an error is a sign of intellectual
    integrity. For IDers, it's a sign of weakness.
