J. Hutton Pulitzer Claims Punctuation Is Destroying History ... Oak Island Sword ... Blah, Blah ... Dinosaurs

3/23/2016

48 Comments

 
Many of you will remember the claims that self-described History Heretic and former Treasure Force Commander J. Hutton Pulitzer made for a bronze souvenir sword with a Hercules hilt alleged to have been discovered off the coast of Oak Island many decades ago. Pulitzer had claimed that the sword was Roman in origin, one of twelve produced for some occult purpose, and he disputed tests conducted by Saint Mary’s University in Nova Scotia that suggested that the sword is unlikely to have been manufactured before the early 1700s, and mostly likely not before the 1880s. Pulitzer has now released a 200-page report in which he attempts to challenge those tests. The 3 GB document comes with audio, video, and what Pulitzer describes as “learning.” Like most of his productions, it’s a bit slapdash, riddled with typos and layout and design errors, and a vehicle for his own conspiracy theories against academics—and punctuation.
(As with everything involving Pulitzer, it’s not clear whether the report is the final version, and Pulitzer promises that a future release will compress the report to a more manageable file size.)
 
I viewed the document but unfortunately do not have a link for you to download the massive amount of material. I will leave it to those with expertise in metallurgy to evaluate Pulitzer’s claims about the testing done on the sword. For our purposes today, I’d like to focus on Pulitzer’s “Introduction Letter” (his term), and the strange claims he makes in it. As will become clear, Pulitzer has a very hard time distinguishing between facts and inferences, observations and conclusions. For him, they are all the same, and all part of a vast conspiracy marked by “emphatic” use of punctuation.
 
“The system tells us with emphatic defiance,” Pulitzer writes, “that ‘they KNOW what happened 15 billion years ago or even 1000 years ago to an exact!’” (sic). Pulitzer, who seems to advocate a postmodern understanding of epistemology while remaining ignorant of both polysyllabic words, asks “How is it that mankind can issue any statement for others or regarding others with an absolute period on the end of the sentence?” He goes on to declare war on “periods” on behalf of “question marks,” blithely unaware that in denying that scholars can truly know the past he therefore undermines any case he hopes to make for his diffusionist worldview. He can never turn his question mark into a period since by his own admission facts are essentially unknowable.
 
But that’s not the worst of it by any means. One the second page of his introductory letter, Pulitzer calls evolution into question by demanding to know how a mere man could discover a few fossilized bones and therefore declare (with “the emphatic ‘period’”) that the bones belonged to “your mother Eve, out of Africa, from which we all beget” (sic). Never mind that no one has ever made that claim, and that Pulitzer is conflating the discovery of presumed human ancestors such as Lucy (an australopithecine) with “mitochondrial Eve,” the presumed originator of the genetic line of Homo sapiens. In both cases, though, the connection between modern humans and ancient ancestors is a conclusion drawn from observations, not a statement of absolute fact. This can be seen in the continuous debate about how best to organize various fossils on the human family tree, not to mention continuing questions about how to demarcate fossil finds into species.
Pulitzer’s polemical anger at inferences is best exemplified by his second example of how punctuation is shutting down creativity. This one involves Jurassic Park, that well-known science documentary:
We have all seen the Jurassic Park movies and we all now know what species extinct for millions of years look like. Or do we? Once again, find a few bones, maybe a fossilized outline in sediments and amazingly we know the dinosaurs (sic) skin color, eye color, eating habits, growls, snarls, and roars. This is what this dinosaur looked like. Once again there’s that emphatic “period” at the end of the sentence.
Do I even have to spell it out? The Jurassic Park movies are not science, and their artistic impression of dinosaurs was at times intentionally inaccurate. Even though we have fossil impressions of dinosaur feathers, the movies purposely omitted them for fear they’d look ridiculous. (Jurassic World addresses this briefly by noting the dinosaurs in-movie were designed to look like people’s misconceptions of them.)
Picture
Yes, "Jurassic Park" was the first time anyone imagined what a dinosaur looked like.
But the broader point is that Pulitzer misunderstands the contingency of knowledge and also denies that inferences can be drawn from observations. The skeletons of dinosaurs allow us to make inferences about how the muscles would have attached, based on what we know about modern animals. This, in turn, suggests their original appearance, something that impressions of the soft tissues left in fossils confirms. Fossils also can tell us what the texture of dinosaur skin would have been since a few samples of that texture remain. No one knows the color of dinosaurs’ skin, but studies of the melanosome pigments in some preserved fossil feathers allow for the reconstruction of the feathers’ colors. This is a terrific bit of detective work. Melanosomes provide different colors to feathers based on their shape, so even though the original colors don’t survive, the fossilized shapes can be correlated to the original coloration. Thus, scientists concluded that Anchiornis looked like giant woodpecker, with a red crest, while Sinosauropteryx was bright orange! Pulitzer would have us deny these conclusions, while simultaneously arguing that his own inferences about the “Roman” sword are “100% confirmed” because he believes that all of the above is mere academic posturing. He claims that “hard science” will find the “truth” that theories cannot.
 
It’s also important to note that no one claims that these conclusions are “100% confirmed.” They are inferences drawn from observations, and while they remain the best available, they are not unassailable, and nearly everyone recognizes that new evidence can overturn current conclusions. Pulitzer doesn’t understand and doesn’t care about this, and he doesn’t recognize that even if we accept his “hard science” at face value, he still requires inferences and hypotheses to explain it. For example, even assuming he is correct that the “sword” is from the second century CE and made from bronze from central Europe, that does not prove that the Romans made it (and not, say, the Gauls, or Scythians, or space aliens), nor that it was taken to America in that century (and not, say, in 500, 1500, or 2000), nor that human beings carried it there (and not, say, ocean currents, or eagles, or, again, space aliens). In other words, Pulitzer doesn’t recognize his own inferences as inferences. That’s what makes it so galling that he includes a photo spread showing the sword to be “Roman” by comparing it stylistically to dissimilar genuine Roman bronze depictions of Hercules—you know “hard” science!
 
This is to be expected since Pulitzer simultaneously argues that his report is not meant to lead the audience to a conclusion while purposely prejudicing it through rhetorical sleight of hand. Thus, while claiming to fairly and objectively investigate “both sides” of whether the St. Mary’s University study of the “Roman” sword followed scientific protocol so readers, acting as “a jury of peers,” can make up their own minds, he phrases his inquiry as “irrefutable evidence of […] educational bias [and] institutional malice.” He also calls it “bigoted.” You know, fair and balanced!

>>>leave it to those with expertise in metallurgy to evaluate

It should be up to him to pass on his material to the experts for evaluation. then to make available the experts' report on his dossier

You said it perfectly Jason. If anybody is interested in seeing the report, the facebook group Fake Hercules Swords https://www.facebook.com/groups/458600194323519/?fref=nf has a post with the pages.

I read somewhere that reptiles show different colors according to different skin textures, and that is a way to know that dinosaurs had different skin colors.

"Hard science" already disproved Pulitzer's claims.

I would like to mention I don't think eagles carried the sword to Nova Scotia. As with swallows and coconuts, it's a matter of weight ratios.

Fully-grown eagles are reckoned to be able to carry prey weighing over 3lb. The decorative Hercules swords on sale are typically well under 3 lbs. There would be a serious effect on air-speed though.

DaveR, don't see the problem. The proper response to swallows is "African or European?" and "Golden or Sea?" is right along those lines...though personally, I would have gone "Golden or Bald." Just for the added lulz.

Pulitzer isn't concerned with scientifically based conclusions using evidence and facts, he's made a claim about the sword and nothing will make him change his mind. Even if someone walked up and said he placed the sword on Oak Island Pulitzer would dismiss this as a hoax.

Of course we know what dinosaurs look like! I have four of them in cages my house right now. One is singing away right now.

Most people call them birds now. But science tells us they are one and the same...

...actually, sweetie, science is pretty clear that birds are NOT the same as dinosaurs, but instead that they are DESCENDED from dinosaurs. It's not a difficult distinction to make. Just ask yourself, are you your parents, or are you DESCENDED from your parents?

The clade Maniraptora encompasses birds and birdlike dinosaurs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniraptora. Using this classification scheme, birds are definitely regarded as dinosaurs that survived the K/T extinction event.

Andy - why not? ARE you your parents? For people who don't actually get how evolution works--hence the need for an analogy in the first place--they generally do understand being equated with their parents. And I never said birds weren't considered to be in the family tree of dinosaurs. But birds are not, according to any biologist I've spoken to, considered to BE dinosaurs, anymore than primates are considered to BE single-celled organisms, despite primates being of the eukaryote clade.

Time Machine, go to fucking hell. What the fuck is wrong with you and disgusting, contemptible personal insults out of nowhere?

Once, over 50 years ago when my mother caught me swearing, she admonished me saying "Michael! Using profanity and vulgarity shows a lack of intelligence. You are not unintelligent." Although I took that to heart, I am no saint and have and do occasionally slip in the heat of the moment during a verbal exchange.

You, V, and almost all others who comment on Jason's blog, show no lack of intelligence. Please, let's leave the profanity and vulgarity to those like Scott Reaney, Steve St. Clair, Nick Redfern, and others who fit that parameter.

Eric
3/25/2016 07:13:45 pm

Let me be the first biologist (PhD in Zoology, specifically) to tell you that birds are definitely dinosaurs and that most of my peers are very emphatic about this.

The following actually shows the problem:
"But birds are not, according to any biologist I've spoken to, considered to BE dinosaurs, anymore than primates are considered to BE single-celled organisms, despite primates being of the eukaryote clade."
Right in this example you have to switch tracks. You say that primates are in the eukaryotic clade but then, instead of saying that they aren't eukaryotes (since they are eukaryotes) you say they aren't considered to be single-celled organisms. Single-celled organism isn't a clade, it's a definition based on organization. The clade you mentioned DOES include primates.

What you are looking for is a grade, a group defined from both ends. On one end a grade is constrained phylogenetically (so pelycosaurs are synapsids and not, say, lissamphibians). On the other end a grade is constrained by the lack of specific derived characteristics (so pelycosaurs are NOT therapsids, but are more primitive). Grades, however, have no formal status and do not appear on phylogenetic trees or in classification schemes unless in informal notes.

Dinosauria is a clade. It includes birds. If you wish to refer to what you consider to be dinosaurs in a technical manner you are supposed to call them "non-avian dinosaurs" because they are definitely dinosaurs.

In the original "Boston Standard" article on 12/16/15, it was said to be "early 2016".

In the 1/20/16 "Epoch Times" article @ http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1946376-exclusive-new-evidence-ancient-romans-may-have-made-it-to-oak-island-canada/?photo=5 they said "spring" and had previewed it - "...Scherz said in a comprehensive white paper about the evidence that suggests Romans made it to Nova Scotia. The paper is authored by Pulitzer and several other scientists and is to be published in the spring; Epoch Times previewed it."

From his Facebook group, "Curse of Oak Island (New -NO Drama - Official)", in comments under his post: Hutton Pulitzer January 20
IMPORTANT OAK ISLAND INSIDER INFORMATION ON THE OAK ISLAND ROMAN SWORD, he answered someone "everyone knows the white paper gets published late spring and is a magazine cover story March." Kinda missed the missed the March cover opportunity.

Latest information: Hutton Pulitzer March 20 at 2:18pm
Mike Walkovich - just about ever week we post an update on the white paper. It is still in progress and being expanded. When ready we will post for down load. Are you new to the group?

So, it was far enough along for the "Epoch Times" to preview it on 1/20 but on 3/20 "it is still in progress and being expanded." With Spring only being a few days old, he still has 3 months to meet the deadline.

Subject to change on any whim of course. The quickness of the release of this "sword report" from it's announcement was not within the norm. Haven't seen/heard hide nor hair about " ... our report for our UNESCO World Heritage Report (yes, will be available for download soon) and our internal report for a Canadian Law and Legislation Review, ....", from article posted on June 7, 2015 "Could some of the Oak Island Treasure Artifacts be FAKE? The ArtiFACTS, ArtiFAKES and unbelievable, ArtiFRAUDS!" under his historyhereticorg banner @ http://historyheretic.org/2015/06/07/could-some-of-the-oak-island-treasure-artifacts-be-fake-the-artifacts-artifakes-and-unbelievable-artifrauds/

Or the "documentary" on the 90 foot stone. "Curse of Oak Island (New -NO Drama - Official)" group: Hutton Pulitzer August 6, 2015
NOTICE: We have the official University Study and decoding of the infamous 90 Foot Stone back from the Libyan and Tunisian Universities. <snip>. In comments:
Hutton Pulitzer Bob Ziadie season 3 is November, but even with this information does not mean producers will choose it or the brothers will like it or want it, so IF not then we will release the documentary at same time
August 6, 2015 at 10:28am, "...we have already prepared the documentary ...", "...we have an authentic translation at the scholar level...", Hutton Pulitzer The stone translation will not be released here in FB but in a documentary which is in pre production stafe6 March 1 at 7:42am, Hutton Pulitzer Reggie Wood the stone Will only come out as documentary first. Not a Facebook post. Sorry too big of a deal to treat as simple facebook post. March 1 at 2:32pm.

Or the "Solomon's Secret" book package that saps, uh er, I mean customers could pre-order for $174 two years ago, give or take a month or so. In a post on a now defunct site, but documented by Andy White in this blog http://www.andywhiteanthropology.com/blog/secrets-secrets-every-where-nor-any-word-to-read on 1/19/15 Pulitzer announced "In closing the materials are ready, but can’t be shipped to printers and manufacture yet. The ship to manufacturing will take place in about 3 weeks, so the series runs it course." Then on 11/15/15 from https://www.facebook.com/notes/hutton-pulitzer/solomons-secret-and-commoduss-secret-the-package-worth-the-wait/435308426672486/ he said "... when things started to change for Season 3 Curse of Oak Island and with the discovery of the ancient Roman Sword being held back and not announced; we immediately rushed to do a rewrite of Solomon’s Secret and to produce the second book in the series, Commodus’s Secret." In a comment: Hutton Pulitzer Ann Sowers Ward: I do not have a solid date for final print sign off, but seems to be january. From a webcast rant on 2/23/16, because of another "discovery" of ""It is an Ebony and Ivory staff ... it's monumental, MONUMENTAL, and it has a minimum, MINIMUM date of about 600 to 550 BC", he announced the books are being delayed yet again in order to incorporate this and other items into them.

Given the above, Andy's prediction of "Nevuary" sounds about right.

Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is one of the world's most reproduced and reinterpreted paintings -- but no one has done it quite like Japanese artist Keita Sagaki.

The "Mona Lisa" isn't the only Old Master painting that Sagaki has reproduced using manga-inspired characters -- he has also created his own versions of Leonardo's "The Last Supper," Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," among others.

"Sagaki actually dreamed of being a manga artist drawing cartoons when he was a kid," Sveinn said in a phone interview. "He used to draw cartoons in his notepad, and he thought to himself, 'Maybe I should do something interesting with this; maybe I can apply this technique to works that I can see in a museum.'"
