This topic has been discussed here over a spread of time and in various threads but not recently, I think. This article might be a good way to kick off some more discussion from a present day perspective if anyone's interested:

While I have well and truly achieved my three score and ten my memory has not been impaired so far and I assure you that my recollection is correct. I admit that my use was wrong. I had never actually encountered the phrase in its correct use.
".... a glance at the author list told me basically all I need to know about it". That statement however left me a little perplexed. |

In case it wasn't obvious, I meant that it would be as improbable for that particular set of coauthors to decide that the Meridiani spherules were not concretions as it would be for me and my coauthors to suddenly decide that they were. Just our human nature, with no disrespect. To the moderators, neither of us appear to be new posters, but I apologize if a wayward, ill-informed comment by one of us seems to have led the discussion astray. Please remove or move those irrelevant, uninformative portions of the discussion if appropriate (rule 2.5). Incidentally, Nick Hoffman, for whom I have the greatest respect, used to post here too, but I doubt that he still follows the site.
