I didn't say enough about Piltdown man to be inaccurate. The only
point I was making is that the academic establishment bought that
line hook, line and sinker.

I mentioned Wegener's continental drift theory because it was regarded
as a crackpot theory by the geological establishment.

I don't have ready access to an academiclibrary so I filed your sweating
article away for future reference. Last year I checked Morgan's citations
on a number of issues and was satisfied that she hadn't misrepresented
them. I haven't checked your references yet but I have seen enough
bluster,
illogic, and insult from your postings to suggest that I should never take
what you say at face value without getting independent verification.
