Skepticism of age raised by Matthew Salzer
[edit]Benjamin Trovato added a quote from the Washington Post where Matthew Salzer (from the University of Arizona Laboratory for Tree-Ring Research) was skeptical of the age quoted in Schulmann's original paper.
WaPo is surely a reliable source, but Salzer's results haven't undergone peer review yet. How shall we represent this in the article? — hike395 (talk) 05:02, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Later --- added a sentence about the controversy in the main article, but not the lede. Open to other possibilities. — hike395 (talk) 05:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
