Paul Crowley's approach to science: an opening unsupported speculation

I don't see javelins being reliably useful
against any prey.  You'd have to get
close enough, and the prey would soon
understand their danger, and keep the
appropriate distance.   You certainly
can't expect the prey to stand still after
you've thrown the weapon.

Gerrit Hanenburg's approach: a 5-line quote from a primary reference,
which summarily dismisses Paul's opening gambit & renders the rest
invalid -

Because "They were highly sophisticated long-distance throwing
weapons, which reflect an extraordinary skill in wood-working, to
produce well-balanced ballistic characteristics. A test reconstruction
indicates a range of up to 60 m with good penetrative power" (Thieme
2005).
