There is not a lot of information out there on your transitional as you call it. For instance how many fragments is the reconstruction based on and over how large of a area were the fragments gathered from and how long did it take to gather all the fragments together.

I see that the fossil has an estimated age based on 4 separate dating methods, is any one method used as a control for the others? How will we confirm any of this?

Paleo-Anthropologist's have unusual definitions for what constitutes a fossil, at one extreme a tooth or two and a few shards of bone is enough, and at the other end of the envelope reconstructions built up of dissociated fragments well over a hundred can be 'a fossil', such as what KNM-ER 3733 looks to be.

And then there is yet another problem (among many) in the field of paleo-anthropology, and that is the issue of reconstruction. The Rise and Fall of KNM-ER 1470 is a good example.

Your facts as you call them are based on beliefs.
