Yes, actually, it is the way it works among other shifty methods. The "science" of dating is about as reliable as a politician's promises. And it's because the premised assumptives going into the methodology don't hold up under scrutiny. It isn't a crime to be wrong. And if these guys were actually looking for the truth instead of trying to prop up an agenda, the heat in that regard wouldn't be so great. So don't go there with me. All the "equipment" methods used are based on assumptives that not only can't be proven; but, rather have been called into question on their face. 14c was in trouble well before argon came on the scene and it was gauged to the 14c methodology and had equally absurd assumptives given that the 14c assumptives were considered 'rational'. Truth is, nothing in way of assumtives is irrational for the evo crowd until somebody steps in to defrock the fraudulent assuptions and then ya'll act like the bunch of cowboys in Young Guns after they shot their own sherrif.., "Uh oh". Course, when the press comes, the story will be, it was that indian fellow.. our aim is impeccable.. kinda sounds Roman Rite to me. Learn a word: fallible. It's a happenstance, not a crime. The crime is the story ya'll push.
As usual, when confronted with an article full of facts, you start babbling about agendas and conspiracies, rather than even attempting to address anything in the article.
