Oh, I do like that one. How about "without advocating them"?
I think "succumbing" has the extra meaning that often one "succumbs" to a belief by attempting to debunk it.
Oh yes.
I'm not sure how to put that succinctly though - "without taking a side"? "without trying to prove or disprove them"? "without regard to their inherent worth"?
"without taking sides" is a good start IMO.
