Ridiculous. All mathematical models of this type have
"fiddling parameters". If we knew the values of these
parameters with as much accuracy as say the universal
gravitational constant, we wouldn't have any problems
with "fudging". It was exactly because of these fiddling
parameters that others showed that the dates could be
as much as about 800,000 years. Don't tell me you haven't
heard anything about this.
