So, given my responses, Drich, let's summarize the reasons you refuse to take a field geology excursion with me, and possibly others:
1) I think it wise to not go on a field trip with someone who does not know the difference between a resin mock up and actual fossilized remains
2) Butt rape by some creepy rock guy.
Are there any other reasons anyone here can think of why he would not want to see real fossils in the field, in-situ? Any at all?
Drich. Are you ready to reveal the REAL reason why you are afraid to take a field trip to learn something about geology first hand?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
