> Tony: This is one of those areas where I am quite happy to say both "I don't know" and "In some ways it doesn't even matter." It is not simply that I don't trust dating methods, it is just that there is a lot of circular reasoning, assumptions, and even incongruity in the data derived from the methods..... I disagree with them on a purely scientific basis. However, in this case I was merely wanting to point out the simplest and most likely reason that the data does not fit the theories.-My problem is I am not trained enough in physics to see the problems. I have accepted the statements that the five/six isotopic methods all agree within 10-20%.
