To paraphrase (a judge from the 50s?): I don't know what porn is, but I know it when I see it.
All artifacts add up, I think, until a "Eureka" moment. I was interested in Gallagher's lost trunk, and read up on it a bit here, and still have hopes it will surface. What if he took some pictures, in situ, of the bones-skeleton, and there are clearly identifiable things which belong to AE in the pictures? That would be pretty compelling... but a convincing IA? ... maybe not to many.
The Smithsonian people have to be careful about making a public affirmation ... that would put a lot of weight behind Niku, as they carry some clout, credibility.
Ignore the clearly wrong naysayers. The ones that I have read, which were linked here, have clearly mis-interpreted the data. As for deniers, there are some people who still believe the moon landings were staged.
all imo.
