C-14 dating works for everything “once living” (including plants),
but you’re right about the limitations. It’s only good to about 10,000 years at most.

Of course, there’s still the problem of assumptions like the amount of C14 in the atmosphere at the time it was alive, among others.

Exactly...which is why I go back to my original posting about their assumption on how old the bedding was. I get so tired of the scientific and educated community preaching their word as being the gospel on how old the World is and sure hate my children having to be faced with the confusion. Until they can say with 100% certaintity that their dates are correct, I call B.S. on anything over about 10k years old. :)

Of course, the RC dating limit is 50,000, not 10,000, but of course, you really don’t know what you’re talking about anyway.
