Don't you think that you're being a tad hyperbolic here? No one has turned anything into a 'heinous crime'.

[sigh]
You really must hone your reading and comprehension skills. I have already told you that my opinion is that derision is applicable to adherents of Maier's Law.Which bit of that did you not understand? Nowhere did I state that it is applicable to the making of simple mistakes. Please do not attribute to me things that I have not said/written.

Au contraire. I do realise that actual evidence can be a tad inconvenient, but I very doubt that you can recognise the nature of the mistake – sorry, 'heinous crime' – until you have seen it.

I'll accept your analogy as being valid when Bauval corrects his errors within three minutes of publishing them. Heavens, man, the guy does a George Armstrong on them!
