From the piece you shared
"One of the reasons given for the verdict is the notion that science is limited strictly to the study of natural phenomena and therefore that ID and other claims involving supernatural phenomena are outside the proper domain of scientific investigation. While the verdict is widely viewed as correct for other reasons cited in the court’s opinion, that particular rationale upon which it is based is questionable. "
That is our discussion in a nutshell.
The verdict is held as "correct" including by the court and their annotations, but the person writing this believes it is "questionable."
That's fine. If you want to question it and he wants to question it, then nobody is telling you that you can't. Maybe there's even merit to such a pursuit. However, as it stands it is "correct" to limit scientific study to natural phenomena. I think it's fair to say, many of us aren't interested in studies about vampires, goblins, and ghouls and would rather put our focus on applying science in the natural world.
