That would be a really wrong take away from Kitzmiller v. Dover for two reasons: That case itself was already an attempt at repackaging creationism in way to get around existing law from earlier cases; The evidence presented during the trail included evidence that creationists were already working on yet another repackaging. |

You're right. I do think Judge Jones statement, however, applies here;
