Fascinating, I love being wrong here. I looked into it for an hour and you're absolutely right. Sincerely, thank you for educating me about that. I was always told it was a defensive mechanism, even by archaeology professors. I wonder how that myth became so widespread in academia.
- s_q_b 12y agoMay I also say that this is the only place on the Internet, of which I know, where an admission of being incorrect is greeted by a torrent of support rather than mocking or denigration? Academic discovery includes being wrong, and the fact that this is still understood here makes it an extremely rare place. Please, please no upvotes to this comment, as I'm simply trying express my gratitude for all of your support for an essential element of academic inquiry. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you, HN.
