It is OK. Sometimes I get these overwhelming urges of aggravation about the "establishment" and the "establishment's" unwillingness to consider that there is someone somewhere who, because of their experience and knowledge (that is outside of the "establishment") is able to see to the bottom of an issue quickly. For example the sphinx - that is water erosion, and there is no way that you can escape from the *fact* that it is water erosion...but since that *fact* will not fall in line with any of the "establishment's" current *theories* that *fact* is ignored.
Here is an example of a mathematician, who, because he grooves on math, figured out a math problem (with a fairly good probability of being correct). Well, since the people who study archaeology don't know math inside, outside, upside, downside, they sniff and poo-poo this guy's idea.
I would say that it all comes out in the wash - but stuff like this is very heavily decided on who is doing the laundry.
