Thank you for reinforcing my points.

You said

"New information has appeared in the past ten years, so a conflict between a picture in a ten-year old book and current knowledge isn't necessarily significant". (Spelling corrected)

I read the posts. My point is very simple... whom are we to PM?

Who are the holders of the " current knowledege "?

Specifically, what are the qualifications of these experts, and is there a list of experts we are supposed to PM? If I PM one "expert", will his answer coincide with another "expert"? Do all the "experts" have the same opinion of what is or is not a fake?

What if a NON-"expert" finds something that is trulyauthentic, but the experts disagree?

Other fields of research are credible because they involve writing articles/papers describing the "new knowledge" in a field and letting the "peers" review the research. That's how true knowledge is expanded. Not by a few anonymous folks who "claim" to have the knowledge.
