"...Aukum's Razor says erosion and poor math skills.."

You might take it easy criticizing someone's theory with "Aukum's Razor" unless you've maybe read up on Aukum and the Razor and understand it. I'd suggest you haven't or you wouldn't spell it that way.

Unless there is actually an "Aukum's Razor". In which case, you have my apologies.

You got me. Poor spelling skills on a drive-by comment, but the article is a joke.

after 4.6 billion years, at the current lightning strike rate, every square meter of land should contain far more fossilized lightning strikes than it can even hold.

Hmm. This is pretty easy to criticize. If the model shows something that's impossible, then the model is wrong. Either poor math skills, or they didn't take erosion into account. I guess I was using the layman's formulation "the simplest explanation is usually the correct one".
