Another aspect of being human is that our brains are wired differently,  
which causes us to filter information through different thought processes and  
with varying results. Certainly some people have greater and lesser abilities to  
see artifacts on the ground, detect soil color and density change, interpret  
quantities of things, even sorting different things into different 
categories.  Take all those people to attempted to build computerized models to quantify 
 arrangements of objects or broken things in an attempt to test for patterns 
of  behavior, only to dispute each other on identification, arrangement, 
method of  quantification, presentation of data and interpretation. Then factor in  
different levels of academic training, different theories (some better  
understood than others), or perhaps even our own spiritual feelings, and you  find 
people creating "fantasy truth" to explain what they think they see. This  is 
why I stated that truth is fantasy the other day. In truth, we are lucky  
anyone agrees at all.
