Well, I’m guessing the Chinese are new to the fossil-hoaxing business and are still learning the tricks of the trade. They haven’t been at it as long as Americans and Europeans, so maybe I should cut them a break, eh?
No, don't cut them a break at all. All new claims need to be investigated thoroughly, and if a hoax the reputations of the scientists need to be trashed forever. The guy who supposedly found Nebraska Man has a very poor reputation in science history, and that wasn't even so much a hoax as poor science and wishful thinking.
