stitchwhichJust for the record, in case you didn't know, I'm a stickler for accuracy.
I'm just fine with, in fact happy to hear or read, "I don't know/we don't know, but research seems to indicate ______, which is what we're using as our base for now."
But if you catagorically state, "This is the way it was/is" you'd damned well better have some good solid actual finds/documentation for that statement. Not "Mr. Bigshot in the field says it was so" or "a conversation amoung others of the group say so" but rather Archeological Report X or Field Analysis Y.
Because otherwise, it's just wishful thinking opinion.
