I started out wanting to study archeology but found too many problems with closed minded inquiry so I decided on cultural/linguistic study instead.

But I also found that getting two anthropologists to agree on much is like trying to get two geologists to do the same, you might get them to agree at a cocktail party but beyond that, good luck.

I like this approach and now am interested in the rest of this story.
