It seems to me though, that in using the term "denialist" you are doing exactly the same thing that you are accusing Lewis of doing.
Logical error: False equivalency.
When a fool proclaims a competent person to be a fool, it is not improper to point out the foolishness of the fool.
Some answers are wrong and it is a disservice to all concerned to pretend that everybody's opinion is equally valid.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
