Just because you don't like hearing the truth, it doesn't make it any less true.
It was obvious from the first word that the author went into the assignment believing the biblical naarative to be true and no amount of seeing the utter lack of evidence would convince her otherwise.
Even though I didn't read the article; I was agreeing with you (in a general way) . I don't like when they say this could be the house of so and so, when really there only reason for thinking this, is that it may be in about the right place at the right time. So I don't know what truth it is, that you think I don't like hearing, or that I am dismissing.
I was however stating that (even though again, I don't have specifics and I'm speaking from past experience) that you are likely equally over reaching in your statement. I'm don't have an aversion to the truth. So if you want to talk about it, I would be happy to look at what you think has "conclusively disproven". I hope it is better than the argument from silence, that I have seen from others.
