<HTML>I would also call many of the archaeologist/historians/anthropologists demagogues as well. You don't have a monopoly on whatever you want to call the truth (although from your protestations you'd think you do).
Frankly, it seems to me that you're trying to protect your own reputations more than wanting to get to the bottom of the whole matter. Instead of castigating someone for having unorthodox views and berating him for having an agenda, you want to take a really good look at yourselves. You're doing exactly the same thing as you're accusing him off!!!!.
As a geologist, I've seen this often enough, not only with this question, but also within all fields of science. Get off your academic hobby horses and co-operate with other scientists like Schoch to work out the problem, instead of flinging barbs at other people in other fields of science.</HTML>
