Yes, he's right. I don't think one should never engage them, but others should do it. Despite Dawkins not even being close to the most important Biologist around, he is perceived as such - so indeed maybe the debatimg should be done by someone with a slightly lower profile. This is exascerbated by the fact that he is really not a very skilled debater. Others like Matt Dillahunty, say, can expose creationists much more skillfully where Dawkins has a rather limited rhetorical arsenal of scoffing, reiterating a point from one of his books, looking baffled and shouting "evidence!!!".
