Yep.

The answers to problems with the Bible are all apologetics, never anything provable, never anything that doesn't fall under "oh, you're not reading it right".
Considering that the bible is a book that gets read, yes, discussions on alleged problems with the text are naturally matters of interpretation. Why would you expect something else?
Are you kidding? "Interpretation" is the whole problem. "Interpretation" is why there are thousands of schisms in Protestant Christianity alone. Funny how every preacher is so damned sure he has the "right" interpretation. Funny how no god ever, ever shows up to say "this guy has it right".
Any reasonably intelligent 10-year-old can write a clear paragraph about something that they want. But GOD always speaks in MYSTERIOUS WAYS and GOD's stories always are up for "interpretation". That's enough evidence for me - that alone - for "god's stories" being "human fantasies used to control people". These evil parables don't even have a whiff of deity in them . . . unless you're actually believing the con man jumping through hoops to put his "interpretation" on them.
