Et Al

JTEM is brilliant, so brilliant that even I sometimes
find myself wishing that I could be him -- yes, I am
THAT brilliant -- but you never want to cite a JTEM.
So instead you name... well...

Et Al

So it's not plagiarism, no fear of any scandals
after you become President of Harvard because
you're not claiming you came up with everything
yourself. No, you had contributions from...

Et Al

If anyone STILL gets nosy you tell them that a
lot of ideas were shared on an only "Scientific
Forum on Paleo Anthropology." Then you drop a
few names and...

Et Al

But, again, you're not citing work with this Et Al.
You're citing ideas. You'd still have to do the
actual work, the science. And THAT is what you
would be pinning your name to.

Even if it's confirming findings that others have
claimed to find? It's still important.

But it would be nice if people actually started
testing these ideas, instead of just preaching.
