Yes, I agree that Wallace is trying to deal evenhandedly with the data that
is available. Although there is plenty of preconceptions and bias around
this issue I don't think it is on Wallace's part.

In fairness to Wallace with, whom I don't always agree, this isn't called
eisegesis but the scientific method.  You start with a hypothesis and then
you test it.
