What would that show?
- rossdavidh 8y agoPerhaps, what the actual value could be expected to be. So, for example, you don't do a lot of work on top of the current estimates for oldest tool-using humans outside of Africa, that is likely to be overturned in ten or twenty years.
- garmaine 8y agoIt wouldn't be convergent.
- rossdavidh 8y agoInteresting if true. I could easily believe what you say, but do we know that? I don't know the field well enough to say.
- garmaine 8y agoYes it is rather trivially true. The age is getting exponentially further while discoveries are happening faster. But that reflects improvements in technology, not anything about what’s being measured.
