We require logic and accuracy, for example. The paper cites a 1961 reprint of Powell's book as refutation of contemporary scientific claims. huh? Quite obvious to anyone that has ever read Encounters with an Archdruid, the paper fundamentally misappropriates material, paraphrasing way out of context, misrepresenting original meaning (oh, and BTW, that source is left out of the bibliography) I could go on and on and on but I have my own student's papers to grade.
