"No, she didn’t. She didn’t recognize red blood cells at all because she wasn’t expecting to see any. It took a veterinarian to recognize blood cells, because he wasn’t blinded by evolutionary assumptions. The vet, according to Shweitzer, turned out to be right. Now how about you explain why she missed something this obvious."
"& while you’re at it, explain her boss’s reaction. Why did he immediately dismiss the possibility that she had discovered blood cells?"Are you referring to Jack Horner? He never dismissed the possibility, and in fact was immediately open to the possibility.
“She was having trouble preparing the slides, and went to a vet histologist who specializes in preparing slides made from bone for help, and she then showed the slides to a pathologist who believed them to be blood cells.
I don’t think it would be obvious to a nonspecialist.”
Wrong. It was a veterinarian who first identified the blood cells.
“Are you referring to Jack Horner? He never dismissed the possibility, and in fact was immediately open to the possibility.”
Oh yes indeed, he was open to the possibility. So open, he gave Shweitzer this advice: “Now see if you can find some evidence to show that that’s not what they are.”
