As far as I can see, the comments did not (just) assert that adjusted wages were nearly identical. They asserted:
1) That this is not a serious issue and 0 economists study it.
2) That at no point in history was the adjusted wage different between men and women. (This was asserted and not argued for.)
Comments which just asserted that adjusted wages might be nearly identical can still be seen. I agree that this might be debated. The other two opinions appear more extrem and much less plausible, as far as I am concerned.
