Hi Pete,

IMO unpublished work refers to work that has been written up but not published. Undocumented research could be what is still buzzing around in someone's head; it doesn't mean that the research hasn't been done.
Well, I would think that if something was simply buzzing around in someone's head, it may be called an idea - but research? I think that is a stretch. Did you see Dowell's statement in context?
"Schoch’s understanding of early sea faring and land migrating civilizations building sacred monuments and temples such as pyramids across land masses and major oceans to other continents is clearly based from gathering data from a multitude of fastidiously documented and undocumented research from highly diverse, academically and non academically accredited individuals.
This doesn't read to me as if she were talking about ideas bouncing around in someone's head... after all, she is talking about
a multitude of fastidiously documented and undocumented research...
She then goes on to diss some of these researchers:
"Schoch does point out, however, at times it was difficult to determine the reality of truth of some historical information as some earlier researcher’s were apt to do about anything to gather acclaimed fame and monies. These individual’s credibility were in question and it was important to understand underlying truths. Interestingly, while Schoch furthered his research, he did find evidence and truth to some of the questionable data and it proved to be worth the effort of investigation. Because he is a highly educated and well rounded scientist, he is able to weed through the incredulous and stay within reality. Schoch handles inconsistencies very well and is able to convey the important principle findings both scientifically and symbolically by explaining logical reasons and certainties, and by demonstrating the difference of reality and the irrational. He does not predispose himself or others to a false belief system. He presents scientific documented historical facts combined with long lists of myths and legends in a circumscribing way a person can actually read, follow and understand. As he says, he suspects, questions and suggests."
Wow, Schoch sounds all but psychic here! LOL He is
SuperAuthor!, able to leap mountains of fastidiously collected research in a single bound - wade through the bs to find the evidence - write things in a circumscribing way so a person can actually read his musings - and still have time to suspect, question and suggest!!! ROFL!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist
