I agree with your assessment, but I'm still quite glad that Dr. Hooman took a stand against RFK Jr.'s chronic and expected misrepresentations.

I've seen enough of debates to sour on them entirely. Debates are not a means of determining facts, but of shaping opinions about the facts For them to work, both parties have to start from a common basis of facts. They never do, so they're worse than useless.

100%. I have turned down two national television shows because they wanted me to debate cranks. The cranks say yes to any publicity, even white supremacist podcasts I have seen (!), because they just want to be famous and get rich off our work/credentials.

Yup. Nor do I accept any invitations to podcasts, radio interviews, etc. (I've only once been invited for a TV interview, but it wasn't related to quackery or antivaccine nonsense) if it is a debate with a crank or even if a crank is on a "panel" with me.
