I do get the impression here that 'Sensible Archaeology' is anything that you and your groups members fully comprehend / endorse. Whereas anything that might push the envelope or your comfort zone, theoretically, temporally or methodologically is fair game for your anti-intellectual crusade. In this context BRahn, Kevin et al may have a point. I am similarly suspicious of your attempts to hide your prejudices behind humour.
You raise issue of funding and also parallels with perceptions of art. I can only guess that you have a similarly binary view of the Art world - good Vs bad / sensible Vs Frivolous ?
