They state that the "wing-twisting" hypothesis contradicts all models and photographic analyses of flapping flight in birds.In the upcoming days and weeks, lots of qualified people will be carefully reading Sibley's paper and Fitzpatrick's response. I think a vast majority of those people will recognize the above statement as hogwash.
The Sibley paper is indeed devastating; I think Cornell clearly should have responded by "throwing in the towel".
By all appearances, Cornell does seem to be heading directly down the "Cold Fusion" path.

This horse isn't beaten. He's flattened.
I suggest a moment of silence at 12 noon today eastern standard time. If we all place our hands on our keyboards, thus connecting ourselves into a huge force field, and if we will all then recite 4 times the Woodpecker's Prayer that appeared earlier on this blog. Then I'm sure the Ivory-billed will appear to us.
Well......hmmmmm.... nothing else has worked. I just thought we could give it a shot, since it's obviously not about science anymore. Don't forget now, 12 noon!
Well? What happened?
Did anybody, and I mean anybody, see and Ivory-billed Woodpecker shortly after noon eastern standard time?
Huh? Anybody? Anyone at all?
