Thanks for the post, I hadn't seen this interview by RDM...
Despite your rebuttal, I would think that if people actually turned off their debate mode and listened, they would hear that RDM is alleviating their fears.
For those who said the Starbuck and Apollo relationship is being entirely wiped out, he clearly stated they will still be best friends.
For those who were afraid Starbuck and Apollo would sleep together, that's definitely not happening in the short term. (He simply implied it might be possible in the long term, but anything is possible in the long term).
For those afraid that Baltar was brainwashed, although he wouldn't give details, he clearly stated that Baltar would still betray the colonies out of personal motivation.
For the most part, based on the interview, it sounds like he is being exceptionally true to the original BSG, but with a bit more backstory.
