The word "cavalierly" makes it a response to tone, not content. The use of the phrase "legitimate scientific theory" is about defending bruised dignity, not factuality. If it were about the evidences that show evolution to be a fact, it would cite them instead. That's why he included that quote as an example of what not to do. Your statement about evolution is making the same mistake.
