That's probably what Sir Isaac Newton thought about gravity also. Or geologists before Alfred Wegener...on and on.

But isn't that exactly what the Cerutti authors are doing, ignoring what Gary Haynes (plus those he referenced) addressing the point in a peer-reviewed journal, then declaring victory?

There is a home, called 'homework'.

"Greetings from the idiots who have been monitoring hundreds of construction sites, filling the SDNHM exhibit halls

IMO, there are two common fallacies in that statement, both of which can be found using: [www.openculture.com]

Looks like there is already one masters degree 'spin off' from this site:

"This thesis examines the
scientific evidence for the archaeological claims of The Cerutti Mastodon Site, the set of
conditions that allowed for the possible misinterpretation of the site as being necessarily
archaeological in nature, the subsequent publishing of these claims in a major scientific
journal, the lack of appropriate public scrutiny by experts in the field, the
misrepresentation of the site to the general public, and the unintended consequences of
these mistakes. In addition, this thesis examines how the issue could have been
properly handled during many missteps along the way and how the damage already
done can now be fixed.
