The nice thing about being an evolutionist, archeologist, cosmologist or anthropologist is that you can say anything you want, because you can never really be proved wrong.

This archaeologist/anthropologist takes offense at your blanket condemnation.

Are you just anti-science or what?

[Mamzelle]

I'm pro-accountability. What you do isn't science. It's far too speculative. What hypotheses you present are merely interesting--not ultimately important to your fellow man. Fancy butters no parsnips. Fairy tales don't make the buildings to stand or the antibiotics to kill bugs--double-blind studies and calibrations do.

Such giddy assumptions as this "blonde" thing are at least fun on the surface. It would open the door to blonde jokes.

When a theory/opinion of what was is debunked--where does it go to die? Does it get filed somewhere, archived in the File of Abandoned Notions? In the past few weeks we've seen several "evidence would indicate that things were not as they were assumed to be" stories concerning prehistory.

What one wonders about are those who did the previous "assuming." Are they chagrined? Have they lost currency? Do they get a "attaboy"?
