I looked for the article, really briefly, and didn't see it.
I do take issue with your last sentence though. Quite often the first part is cut-off because the guy is writing a piece that has to make sense to the reader. It's quite difficult to fit the entire sentence in at times, and just by removing the first part of it doesn't mean all context is lost.
Honestly though, its a pretty tired excuse. The Wildrose people seem to say things one day and use this "context" excuse the next. Its OK to admit that you don't believe in science. I was watching Mad Men last week and most of the characters on that show would agree that smoking isn't bad for your health! You're not alone in your views and you really should fit for them.
