Your argument could apply to anybody who writes books

No it couldn't, most people write what they believe not what they carefully calculate what they know people with no scientific grounding will swallow whole! He is, to use a technical term, a complete dishonest knob. He's an archaeofarage.

I haven't read the book but, then, neither have other people on here. What I read in this bit of "dialogue" is quite typical of "archaeological behaviour", something I have considerable experience of; ie. people who have set ideas and won't get off their high (rocking?) horse to listen to other ideas. Careers have been built on it. Grants have been awarded on it.
It's not very productive to human endeavour.

Hehe..

I find GH to be a very passionate and engaging speaker/writer.

Those unfamiliar might start with his TED talk should they be so enclined.
