Hrrrm .... I don't remember it this way -- I don't think anyone denied the well-established fact that exercise helps depression. The point at issue was whether exercise was a suitable treatment for depressives to self-medicate, and indeed, whether there was any point in expecting someone in a state of depression to effect a self-cure by exercise.
