Fester,
Would you like a list of the human cranial bones, taken from a human osteology handbook which I acquired from the local police CSI lab? Would you consider such a source (written by an osteologist and paleontologist and forensics man named Bass) as authoritative?
Already posted (from the fifth ed.). See upthread.

Just give me the title of the human osteology handbook which you acquired from the local police CSI lab and I'll compare it to texts written by other medical authorities. I'd like to see for myself if it asserts that "technically" the cranium consists of "about" 22 bones. Maybe you done been steered wrong.
Some people don't believe in mathematics. Others just don't count.
