people who dress to impress are usually hiding some more basic inadequacy.
But I thought that scruffs/crusties took exception to being judged by their own appearance, which makes it hypocritical to judge those in a suit. And one of the paradoxes that needs to be addressed if archaeology is to grow up.
A suit is the equivilant to a well-presented report or drawing, or even a tidy and well-organised site. Yes, a pretty report could be used to cover deficiencies, or could just be an outward (an recognised) sign of competence.
