The DVD does provide information on things that can affect Carbon Dating, but it does other things too.
It suggests that the people in that field of study either: 1. Don't know what can affect Carbon Dating ...or... 2. They purposely ignore the things that could affect Carbon Dating. Kinda gives the impression the DVD has been viewed. I haven't seen it, so I don't know what it suggests. So, do you believe it is appropriate, from a layman's point of view, to say that the geologists and physicists that perform the radiometric dating are ignorant in their field of study?
Maybe we should just say they are dishonest.
Do you have another option that I may have missed? This part, on the other hand, gives the impression that anyone questioning the questionable dates is making those suggestions. I do have a couple of options which weren't listed. 1.) People tend to act in a manner consistent with keeping their jobs. Blowing whistles and making waves aren't generally perceived as consistent with this achieving this goal. 2.) People tend to dismiss the unwelcome as 'trivial' or 'unimportant'. But those things aren't really important. What this argument attempts to do is convince us that the dating establishment is above questioning. Such arguments have been made before, and they've never been terribly persuasive. I am quite willing to have others do my thinking for me, but only under certain limited circumstances. The first is in situations where there is no other choice, and the second is when I have faith in the individual(s)' capacity, and it is inconvenient for me to handle the thinking myself. In this case, I have a choice. It isn't inconvenient for me to think about the methods. There is no reason for me to do as Linear suggests. This is somewhat akin to saying that your plumber: 1. Doesn't know what can cause leaks in your pipes...or... 2. Purposely ignores what can cause leaks in your pipes.
This would make your plumber either ignorant in his area of expertise, or dishonest. If my plumber insists on stringing together an extensive network of pipes five miles long in order to connect two sections that are only a couple of yards apart, you better believe I'll say something! When people betray that they haven't got their act together, the only one who doesn't question is the one who's about to get taken to the cleaners.
