Stupid? Misled maybe, but not stupid.

No need to defend the family when the family was not being attacked. The whole argument is directed at EH's decision to put this thing inside Silbury.

Calling people stupid is not a good start!

I totally agree. However, there is obvious bias here, with the parents not wanting their children to be disappointed on one hand, and others who are only concerned with protecting the integrity of the hill.

The main concern, I think, is that this sets a dangerous precedent, one that EH will have to deal with in the future when other groups insist on putting their own version of a TC inside somewhere else. Passions do run high, especially when EH's reply to "What on Earth do you think you're doing?" is media spin, deflecting the real argument elsewhere and not explaining their basis for this decision.

As I've said before, Time Capsules have their place, and inside Silbury Hill is not it.
