These scientists seem to think they know the age of the moon with a lot more precision than I would have thought. Clearly, they have not been accurate in their estimates to date. I would think they might save themselves future embarrassment by being less precise when looking at things so far away in both time and space.
They write this stuff for each other. This is about publishing something.... anything. It makes them look like they are doing something. Then they argue with each other endlessly.
