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"?

Like I said, you're just anti-science. You just can't help but to show it with statements like this.

(ps. And what exactly is it that I do that is so unscientific?)

They go into the 'one hit wonders' hall of toe.

Some get in the top 40, a few more in the top 10.

Only a very few are in the toe hall of fame on par with a Dark Side of the Moon for a 'magnum opus' status

And if a toe hypotheses/theory/opinion gets a RAH quote with it, is there anything more?

BUT TRUTH lies outside of the museum of toe
