I'm not sure the scholars are imaginary, or that they are as
incompetent as Inger would make them appear.

To the extent they exist, I think they take Inger's skewed views as
reasonably fair comment. She does not relay our ng discussions to her
'friends' (?) faithfully, when to do so might make her look incorrect
or foolish, in my experience.

Then, too, I think there may be a strong element of nodding and
agreeing in order not to provoke The Madam into further conversation.

In certain backward parts of Sweden, (and
certainly in Sci-Arch) the only way to be
designated a scholar, by Inger, is to agree with
her. Otherwise, by default, you are 'not-a-scholar'.
So her statement is doubtlessly true.

Odd, that no archaeologist (or other somewhat
rational individual) has publicly agreed with
her claim that these HISTORICAL excursions
of hers (questions of merit aside) are somehow
on-topic for an archaeological group. Perhaps
none of her 'scholars' has a computer?

But I do like the whale and Halibut side-show.
Next we can begin discussing old cook-books
and fish recipes (as archeological artifacts,
of course.)


Well, if you have to dig in a stack of 'works'
on a bookstall to find that cook-books, it
must be archaeology.
