“If it’s all media hype, how are you going to complain about the evil scientists?”
For the second day in a row, I agree with you... this is getting a little annoying.
I was thinking the same thing here. It’s hard to have a rallyying cry around something that was never much of one in the first place... you guys have much stronger arguments for your side when the proof is more vague. This was obvious hype from the get-go. A neat little trinket; a fine piece of artwork, even a great little bit of history... but hype nonetheless.
The scientists don’t even agree on it being a “missing link”, so you can’t even get a good conspiracy theory going out of it.
