Higgs and Dawkins

I certainly get that Peter Higgs might not get Richard Dawkins' enthusiasm for bashing fundies, atmo.  Obviously, Dawkins is a skilled media personality and quite a bit younger than Higgs; Higgs probably is not frisky enough to go around looking for arguments the way Dawkins does, but I can't help but think that Higgs would have been better off keeping his criticism of Dawkins to himself or perhaps finding a better way to express it.  Both scientists should be on the same side and not be dumb enough to fall into the divide-and-conquer trap.
