I have argued with life-forms which try to pretend that 'reputable' scientists don't use words like 'truth'.
This diabolically stupid and evil bullshit is not my concern this time.
This is.
An American archeologist has discovered flint
spearheads in the USA that span dates and techniques previously associated with a tribe from France.
He jumps to conclude(this suggestive physical material is erroneously described as 'proof' by the televisual idiots making the documentary)that the earliest human inhabitants of the USA were of European descent, not Asian.
'Native' Americans greeted this as a heresy; quite what the point of all this is, is not necessarily scientific.
If someone wanted to mount an attack on accepted conventions, this is what they would do.
If it actually turned out to be real and true, then a lot of stinking wind would be taken out of a lot of ragged sails; but this would only be a good thing if it was scientifically true.
Trouble is, while truth is the first casualty of war, that is only because lies are the first weapon.
And when lies are used to 'fight' lies, everything becomes a lie and the only loser is science.
On the other hand, if it turns out to be equally as valid as previous theories, and the theorist says so, ie they are all conjecture, then they will achieve the purpose I described, bloodlessly.
