It appears from your uninformative reason why my comment didn't «comport» to your very dodgy Comments Policy, that in your mind, when you say; «a paper from years ago», that you are now saying that
valid scientific evidence backed up by the Earth Sciences department at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, The American Geophysical Union & Harvard University has a shelf life and if it exceeds a certain time frame it is deemed invalid.
Your statements and opinions must be
backed up by
valid scientific evidence and data from recognized field experts, and your conclusions must point to additional work that might be warranted or new questions and issues that may arise as technology does.
