Diversion aside, the article is a publication by one Ray Norris, who works in the Astro physics department at CSIRO, Australia's Government funded science org, and also is a Professor for Western Sydney University. I've met him and listened to his public lectures at Macquarie University. He has been researching Aboriginal Australian Astronomy for decades and is well published in the arena. He and his wife have traveled all over Oz, gathering stories from the Elders of tribes. I've heard him talk about the Seven Sisters story from Aboriginal accounts, but one particular story stuck out: Ray mentioned how one particular elder could individually name 50,000 stars, and he dared any Astrophysicist to mention 5,000. I'd recommend that the baby not be thrown out with the bath water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Norris_(astrophysicist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Norris_(astrophysicist) http://www.emudreaming.com/Further_reading.htm http://www.emudreaming.com/Further_reading.htm
