Rebecca, that statistical analysis of Pillar 43 is sound. This kind of analysis is what I do for a living - I am a world leading expert in this, and I know that you are not. The uncertainty in my estimate of 1 in 100 million is contained in the ranking table, and ONLY the ranking table. That is why I keep going on about it. Your are entitled to take a different view of the rankings (and you do), because they are subjective, but not the method, which is just pure probability. So publish your ranking table, and let's compare. Your 'Bugs' parody is flawed, but until you publish it in a peer reviewed journal, I have no need to say why.

[BTW, for those that want to understand this method, I have laboured many times about this. A good introduction to this method can be found in my YouTube videos - search for the 'Prehistory Decoded' channel. My book explains the ideas more thoroughly. See also a blog post on my blog martinsweatman.blogspot.com which is the most detailed exposition.]

Your next paragraph is just your opinion (and full of bile BTW, which does not help you). The observation about stick figures is actually irrelevant to the statistical method. You have a very high opinion of yourself if you think I should address every comment on the internet on this issue, including in your blog. That's the whole point of peer review - it might not be a perfect process (as you have ably demonstrated) - but it is better than nothing. So if you are serious, publish your comments in a peer-reviewed journal.

Your next two paragraphs beginning 'Junk statistics' is, again, just your opinion, but you seem keen to impose it as fact. Interesting reversal. Your observation about the feline confirms you don't understand the statistical method. We've had this argument before, and you seem to have no intention of making any effort to understand your logical error. This is probably because you hold your archaeological beliefs like a religion.

Your next paragraph is irrelevant.

Your final paragraph is correct. I did not address the comments on my Palaeolithic paper on your blog. See above.
