[Colin Panetta]

Judging by their statement on the link you provided, it seems that TED
doesn't have a problem with ideas not accepted by mainstream science, but
it has a problem with those ideas being claimed as fact. TED definitely
could have done a much better job in how they handled the situation,
however.
