The problem with any of this is that "science" is defined subjectively by those with something to gain: the faculty and regulatory peerage. Those people need to be under contract to the property owner subject to third party audit instead. All three need to have something to lose if they are wrong. That calls for insurance. The ESA doesn't need reform, it needs to be completely rethought.

The ESA is evil; the most endangered species in America is free human beings.
