Yes, probably a majority of moderates do not let their views interfere with their judgment in scientific subjects. Yes, it may be imprudent from a pragmatic standpoint to call out moderates on their views. We're in strong agreement on those points. But just because it isn't pragmatic to alienate moderates doesn't mean that the beef with moderates causing profound social harm isn't legitimate. It just means you have to pick your battles. :)

But yeah, we're in agreement on the subject of the wording that started this discussion.
