There is also the possibility that some of the 'before-1970-geology' is
correct. Plate tectonics doesn't answer all geological questions, nor
was it intended to. As I've noted in this group before, without a hint
of crackpottery, if you're stuck in the middle of a long term craton
like North America, there's a helluva lot of geology out there which has
very little to do with subducting margins (or not).
