They sum it up pretty well there. I come down on the "both" side of the choice. Nothing impolitic about cutting off BS at the knees: The White House also passed along a statement from the Ehrlichs that said, in part, "anybody who actually wants to know what we and/or Professor Holdren believe and recommend about these matters would presumably read some of the dozens of publications that we and he separately have produced in more recent times, rather than going back a third of a century to find some formulations in an encyclopedic textbook where description can be misrepresented as endorsement." Basically, it all comes down to this: if you really claim that discussing a concept is equivalent to advocating it, you are either (1) an idiot or (2) a cynical person launching a partisan attack with utter disregard for fact or logic... or both.
