Haha this reminds me of the feedback I got on a report in Comparative Religion, when I questioned some French dude's really elaborate and fanciful interpretation of the paintings at Lascaux. "Ummm... what supporting texts do we have from 17,000 years ago?" "No, you can't ask that sort of question and it's really disrespectful."

FWIW, I wasn't really upset by that feedback. Senior spring; I don't care!

It immediately reminded me of "Emperor Kennedy Legend: A New Anthropological Debate" by Leszek Kołakowski : ) Highly recommended and very funny snce there's much truth to it I think. I found it online in English: http://jennis22.weebly.com/uploads/3/0/5/3/30531242/emperor_...
