Quoting Quotes

Milton/I are saying that the Leakey /Pilbeam quote to be an honest assessment of the amount of evidence that exists in the area called the "fossil void" by Leakey.

So are assessments are honest as long as you agree with them? If someone else's assessment (opinion) is contrary to this one, do you think they are automatically lying?
And I don't know why you keep referring to "claiming victory", as though that is a goal of any of this. Its about understanding and knowledge and science, not about claiming victory.
And yes, you/Milton do seem to be twisting the quote to meet you desired end.
