I completely agree with almost everything you have said. And in particular your first line re complexity.
Two minor points though. Harriet Hall wasn't saying that apples contain 57% fructose, she was saying that the sugar content of apples is 57% fructose. She could have worded it better.
Also, the skeptics society is not out to prove everything wrong. They are out to prove, as far as is possible, real science over junk science. The people writing the blogs are only looking for truth, as compared to some of those who reply to the blog.
