Try it again. I don't claim or believe he's all wrong, just that his

later work and interpretations over-reaches his data's ability to

support his expanded conclusions.

But gentlemen may disagree, ...even scientists may.

You may find something useful to you. Much of his methodology *has*

become some kind of " standard " . Just do read it with a skeptical eye;

his varied challengers aren't all wrong either.
