Valle is as respected as they come in this field. I have never heard of anyone considering him sketchy or of misquoted or ill represented evidence. Now, his ideas can certainly be categorized as progressive. But, that in itself is not an indication of anything. Sounds to me as though the person making the post is tossing out insinuations and asking the reader to do the leg work to see if it pans out or not. Debunkery by insinuation of impropriety and not about specific content. Though I am often at odds with many of Valle's ideas, I urge you to read his stuff. They are typically very well written and present an important evolution of thought. You are guaranteed to take something worth while by the reading of them.

I am having a blond moment. I just realized you where talking about the San Luis Valley stuff and not Valle'. BUT, my answer is essentially the same.

[QUOTE="Ron Collins, post: 94007, member: 574"] Valle is as respected as they come in this field. I have never heard of anyone considering him sketchy or of misquoted or ill represented evidence. Now, his ideas can certainly be categorized as progressive. But, that in itself is not an indication of anything. Sounds to me as though the person making the post is tossing out insinuations and asking the reader to do the leg work to see if it pans out or not. Debunkery by insinuation of impropriety and not about specific content. Though I am often at odds with many of Valle's ideas, I urge you to read his stuff. They are typically very well written and present an important evolution of thought. You are guaranteed to take something worth while by the reading of them. -- EDIT -- I am having a blond moment. :) I just realized you where talking about the San Luis Valley stuff and not Valle'. BUT, my answer is essentially the same. [/QUOTE]
