When I said that Snail had misrepresented TIA, this is what I meant. This is what Snail said TIA said:

Of the Theory of Evolution he [TIA] says that it is 'a still only provisionally "true" hypothesis'

But this is what TIA actually said:

There is an observable *fact* of evolution, and a Theory of Evolution that attempts to explain it (theory being a very very well tested, but still only provisionally "true" hypothesis).

In my book, that is misrepresentation. The more charitable explanation for his doing that is, as I suggested, that he is out of his depth.
