Or it's political. For so long anthropology has defined tool creation as a primary characteristic of Homo OnMyWaytoSapiens, that they have to in some way downplay tool creation by species that they don't or don't want to consider human. They should make a movie about apes getting smart and becoming a problem.

My personal observation is indeed no good to you. However someone that considers something a myth is hardly going to spend any time looking at evidence or time in the field. That attitude pervades the scientific community with respect to BF. I hope I am still alive when someone does get that body on a lab table. The excuses from the scientific community as to why they did not look into it before will be a joy to read. "Why didn't anyone tell us?" will probably be common. Most will not admit their prejudice. Or perhaps they will blame each other for ignoring the signs. Meldrum and Bindernagel will just sit and laugh at their colleagues. Anyway you younger people in the forum at least can enjoy the event when it happens. It will happen.
