GPR is not magic.
When ground penetrating radar does show a disturbance, that is not proof of a burial site and everybody presenting it as such, probably has an agenda as well. Even in the context of the (highly problematic) "orphanages", a ground disturbance alone does not make a grave site.
So being sceptical until at least an exploratory dig at that point, is not necessarily a "weird conspiracy theory that there was no systematic problem" but justified scepticism, whether GPR data was interpreted correctly.
Edit: Being sceptical of the existence of a burial site at this specific location is not the same as seeing no systematic problem in that system of "schooling" in Canada.
- ramraj07 4y agoThis maybe true. I agree skepticism should be warranted and pursued. I just don’t know if this person is who should be trusted in making judgements about the entire field from one of their field reports to one conference. For someone who complained about lack of rigor (a mom wrote a paper based on her experience) she wrote a long tirade based on just her experience with no indication of objectivity either.
- maweki 4y agoI truly believe that a blog post recapping my personal experience and a paper submitted to a conference have different standards of rigor. At least my blog posts have little less rigor than my scientific publications. But that might just be me.
