If a random row advancement reveals an encounter or Merchant Ship, can you fight it, or must it go back?

The designer ruled that the card is put back, though one player first argued for burying it.

You cannot choose to fight it. The revealed card goes back where it came from, on top of its row deck, and you draw again, but the card you draw must not be an encounter or a Merchant Ship. If several are revealed, they keep their order.
