I think it was Stephen Jay Gould in a book called _Dinosaur Hunters_ who told the tale of a palentologist who has worked out ,to his own satisfaction, the epochs of evolutionary history -- to a point where he refused to look at conflicting sample data taken from other digs. Gould -- if it was Gould -- presented this as a good thing ... But it was also Gould, I'm pretty sure, telling a tale with the opposite moral in _Wonderful Life_ about a collection of specimins that had been mistakenly forced into taxonomies that didn't fit -- then the data went unlooked at for most of a century. I wonder if the late DR Gould would in this situation want to examine, or ignore, the data? My memory isn’t quite certain anymore.
