You could have just said "A person that believes in evolution". That would of worked too.
Yeah, but it wouldn't properly convey the dishonest poisoning of the well you were going for with it.

Just bringing up his level of education is an argument from authority. The content and bearing of his arguments also matter, and it's there that Wells falls down. Just a cursory glance at his motivation for getting his degree, and the reasons behind his doubting evolution demonstrates that the man is just as fallacious when it comes to his denying basic biological fact as any other creationist.

No, not particularly. Interesting that you leaped to that though. Were those allegations ever seriously investigated or brought to some form of conclusion? I can't remember, though of course it also doesn't matter, since I'm not familiar with the man beyond that he's a skeptic.
