I would say that the statement "he doesn't want to turn it into a debate" is accurate, though, it is more accurate to tag on the qualifier 'political' in front of 'debate'. It is clear that the science should not be muddied by political debate. The only political debate that should be taking place is what to do about it, not the science behind it. "If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, then have faith; if you want to be a disciple of truth, then search" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
