You are missing my point completely. The point was is he a leap frog jumping 
from one thing to another or changing his 'opinions' in mid stride (which 
appears to be the case) numerous times, etc. 

If you want to compare libraries volume to volume, I would say that mine 
contains more volumes dealing with the 'fringe' sciences than does most 
peoples on this list. I am a staunch supporter of the theories put forth in 
'America, BC,' for instance. I was a member of the Cayce Foundation for 
years. I am horrified that the supposed academic community still refers to 
medieval food as highly spiced and consisting of rotten meat when they should 
know better by now. 

If you can trust a person who goes from being an expert in one area to being 
an expert in another opposing idea almost overnight then that's cool. I 
don't. This scholar is not the definitive scholar in his field so 
corroborating evidence seems to be in order, IMO, to support his ideas. I 
don't doubt his archeological findings in the least what I find questionable 
his seeming ability to interpret those findings according to whatever 
criteria his current financial sources require.
