i have no beef in this argument, except to note that if one wants to study hunter-gatherer societies, one does not dig three rotten sticks from the ground and wildly extrapolates some cockamamy just-so story about the lives of that society that is 90% a reflection of the biases and pieties of the bureaucracy that is funding ones work. instead, one buys a ticket to Port Moresby, and hauls ones ass into the mountains on the horizon.

carry on.
