Hi, Rahvin.

Actually, I saw the commercial on the History Channel last night, and somebody in that commercial actually did say the one about the Rosetta Stone.

Hi, Perdition.

I think the only way we can make a real determination is to wait and see how it plays out.

Spoken like a true scientist!

I agree too: there's a reason you don't get the Nobel Prize the year your groundbreaking study comes out, after all. The scientific community needs time to look over claims before it makes up its mind, and, if it turns out the Ida is not the incredible find it is being claimed to be, there's going to be more than enough embarrassment to go around, and science won't be helped by this media hype at all.
