The phrase "it's over" shouldn't be taken to mean that we can learn no new facts; rather that we cannot go back to a previous state of ignorance.
That is not how I interpreted the statement. To me it conveyed a strong dismissal of any further discussion on the subject.
Since the context was in conversation with a skeptic who could clearly have benefited from a clear and reasoned argument but was instead presented with this comment, my opinion is that this undermines the issue.
I am willing to accept that this may not have been the intention of the statement.
