EXACTLY. Science is Science. Attempting to recreate a meal from the
results of testing the residue that sits in the bottom of
thousands-of-years-old jugs is not Science. Therefore, it isn't someohting
to be taken seriously as a professional activity... If one really wants to
experiement and try to re-create something from it, they can 'play around
with it, but it is clearly playing and not serious.
