To which one could add -

Giving explanations for lay persons is often considered cheap and populist (or career threatening even, if the wrong end of the stick is publicly got).

The alternative is for lay persons to attempt to explain stuff - but then there's a chance they'll be dismissed as cheap and populist and having got the wrong end of the stick.

All of the above can explain why so few archaeos openly post on here even though oblique references in what they write suggest a lot visit a lot.

I guess it's the downside of "all views no matter how bizarre are equally valid and welcome". It results in the pros keeping schtum and not attempting to explain stuff. Two forums try to solve it by having a special section for way-out stuff. I suppose I'd be thrashed in the name of democracy if I suggested that might be of benefit here so I won't.
