Erik, I don't see the word "retract" anywhere in Pyron's statement. (Nor
"withdraw," "repudiate," etc.)

Furthermore, I find it hard to square "the headlines inserted for the piece
for publication said ... that 'we should only worry about preserving
biodiversity when it helps us.' I did not write these words" (statement on
lab website) with "Conservation is needed for ourselves and only ourselves"
(original article).
