And when we pressed him to provide the names of the articles, he eventually conceded - there was only one. http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s1777013.htm

— Email from Benny Peiser to Media Watch, 12th October, 2006

1... from the critera she used.  Not total.  Once again interpretation of a source and not a direct source... which he is.
There is him directly stating something... then Mediawatch claiming something else.
Furthermore they said this proved Oresthkis correct when it did not.
You don't seem to be grapsing the issue of the misquote.
They are suggesting he admited he was wrong and that her research data was right.
When infact she ran a poorly run study, which he still maintains, and the poorly run study still did show issues with her work.

If you're saying Media Watch LIED about his backing down [edit: to] "a few" [edit: and then] to "one", I'm going to need you to produce more evidence than say-so. 

Short of that, his claim of stuff within the scope of her study that is not consistent with her claim has been reduced from 34 to one (the non-peer-reviewed AAPG thing).  Which seems to me to contradict your position "That's not at all what that says at all.  It says he's retracted some.  Not all but 1... but some... since a few were not peer reviewed.  Not close to all but 1 though."

I'm sure Oreskes' "study" is probably given more merit than it should have, but in and of itself it is not even remotely as incorrect as Peiser had claimed, and he has admitted this.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
