Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I expend rather a lot of energy promoting that given accessibility to learned argument the public can bring a wealth of personal and professional experience from all walks of life to bear on archaeological thought dominated by career academics and heritage professionals (that never having done anything else can be somewhat limited in their vision of what life is about); but that argument is somewhat undermined by tma masquerading such as the above examples as unquestionable fact without rigour or references, and furthermore as we all know, behaving in a fashion that encourages the impression that public enthusiasts are a rabble of egotistical loose cannons that converse as if holding a tired closing time pub conversation.
