Surely one of the first things we were all taught in archaeology school was to always question sources, and ask who's telling you something and what they've got to gain by telling you it. In this case, it's absolutely clear-cut what the IfA has to gain by presenting opinion as fact, and yet you assume that everyone else will blithely accept it as true without engaging their critical faculties. I think the legal opinion bought by the IfA is far less clear-cut than they would have us believe, and that it wouldn't be difficult to make a coherent and convincing counter-case.
