Even a broken watch is right twice in 24 hours.  So a human being can be 
correct here and there, as well.  Was Nostradamus so different from Rohl and 
Velikovsky?
Not if he was "guessing" ;-^   But everyone in Egyptology has to take a guess 
now and then--in fact on plenty of occasions.  I suppose it is once again a 
question of how one phrases ones suppositions.  Best to leave a question mark 
there--a wise counsel we all do not always heed.  And are usually sorry 
later.  
It is those who hardly ever leave a question mark and write things on the 
order of "Now I am going to show you the statue of Joseph"--that tend to 
alienate 
the savants.
