Percy, help me on one other point.
I was taught that one of the reasons that radiocarbon dating was limited in scope to around 50,000 years was that beyond that level, it becomes hard to separate readings from what one would expect as a general background noise.
It would seem to me that anyone using radiocarbon dating where it shows an age greater than 50,000 years (maybe slightly longer with newer instrumentation) is simply looking at nonsense readings that have no meaning at all.
Is that still pretty much the case?
