Part of the scientific method is eliminating what certainly is
not true. As I pointed out in my previous posting Korff's
background information regarding BM's 'eye of God' photos is
wrong and thus should be eliminated (instead of being copied).

I posted Meier's comments because it was probably news for most
people reading it. Whether one accepts Meier's explanations or
not is a matter of belief. As Peter B. pointed out, there's
evidence in the case of a varying quality, and I think it's
important to realize that Korff selectively emphasizes only that
part of the data which support his theories; in science 'facts'
are established by means of an unbiased, critical and rational
discussion of _all_ the available indirect evidence.
