But how long did it take to expose the Piltdown fraud? Why are Lamarckian drawings still being pushed in some quarters as truthful, a.k.a. "scientific," representations of evolutionary development?

It took until other intermediate fossils were found. The detective work took time, but it was thorough. From the perspective of a creationist, Piltdown is a valid find and not a hoax, since the find was witnessed. Witnesses trump science, don't they?

Huh? I think you are mistaking the evidence for its interpretation. I know of no adherent of biblical creation accounts who would consider the Piltdown find as significant either way.
