Wes Elsberry’s response fails to refute this point.

Only if someone erroneously thought that a “wedge” consisted solely of a “leading edge” could that be true. The DI CSC has made it clear that while they don’t wish IDC to be “mandated” for instruction in public schools, that they still are activists for the notion the teachers be allowed to teach IDC in public schools without interference from their administrators. IDC is still part of the package of antievolution argumentation and activism, part of the payload that will follow whatever they call the current leading edge of the “wedge”.

I also think it is ludicrous to say that I have in any sense downplayed the significance of the Kitzmiller decision. That’s just loopy.
