And all this is happening outside of science and irrelevant to it.

Actually, it makes paleontologists skeptical of anything they didn't dig up themselves, or wasn't dug by someone they know well - which causes them to ignore new specimens if they don't fit their conceptions perfectly; which after some are finally noticed and proven, in turn causes them to occassionally go chasing fakes. Fortunately few make it to the front pages of newspapers (which makes it difficult to Google).

Which makes the story a lot of hearsay mumble mumble. Not good documentation for calex's recital of ICR talking points.
