Just as someone in the future will scrutinize Lehner's theories. This is science.
Based on the discovery of the so-called "Pyramid Worker's Town" more than 20yrs ago Lehner cheered on by Hawass proclaimed this was in fact the the town of the pyramid workers which its high standard of living proved the workers were therefore not slaves. This discovery was highly popularized finding its way into many a magazine and elaborate documentaries presenting Lehner's theory as fact. But as recently discovered, as it turns out the town was not for the pyrmaid workers after all, but rather for the port facilities. Ooops. So much for these "modern standards of scrutiny" you are so keen on. The only difference between Reisner and Lehner is that Lehner made the latter discoveries leaving him able to cover his own ass instead of getting it chewed on by someone else 60yrs later.
Regardless, by no means did Reisner attempt to engage in any deception as you have irresponsibly portrayed it to be so chalk it up to a bad hypothesis if you will but there is no conspiracy here and if you look you will see history repeating itself even now.
