What is your explanation for this suppression?
You've been around here long enough that you should have at least become suspicious of the motives of many in the scientific community™. Uniformitarianism/gradualism is the name; lying is their game. Goes back to at least the early Catholic Church. The PTB don't like to be discovered in their ignorance/malfeasance and they will apparently do whatever is necessary to protect their turf, egos, government grants, whatever. JMO of course...
