Sure, if the red herring is the sloppiness that distracts from what's actually going on, and then digging in to defend that (e.g. the clearly false statements about "design").

But it's not a red herring to insist on not being sloppy. Saying false things helps no one.

Sorry, no. Being sloppy and saying clearly false things helps no one.
