From what the two of you posted.
Things go up, things go down and all around...

Surprise surprise... water levels don't always rise, or rise uniformly.
And adjustments do have to be made, because the land itself either rises or sinks.

Another effect that is a big part of sea level - is the gravitational pull of land ice.
When the Greenland ice melts, the sea level around it will drop, because the gravitational pull of the ice is shifted to the sea. Same for Antarctic ice.
Antarctic ice is about 2.5 MILES thick, and it is pushing the land under it DOWN a bit less than 1/2 MILE. The sea level around Antarctica is pulled up a lot.
The bulge of sea level around the equator, that results from the earth spinning on its axis (making the shape of the earth into an oblate spheroid) - is shifted southward by the gravitational pull of the Antarctic ice. A LOT.

And then there's this study which includes everything that was mentioned above but comes to the
opposite conclusion.
Research Paper
Why would sea-level rise for global warming and polar ice-melt?

You were right however...

Science is complicated, and checkable. Without science, we would not be discussing this on the Internet.

Context is key though...
