Anyone that provides a purely intuition-based framework that resonates with someone's prejudices will continue to receive attention and endorsement. Calleman's work is no different than DW's work. As the info had become accepted as a viable worldview, it is necessarily self-fulfilling with any dissonance from reality being harmonized through some ad-hoc excuse or another.
with that, you can also dub Ra material surrogate authority.
in your crusade against such 'surrogate authorities', you are forgetting the fact that south american zone is the place where the latest and most successful landings by confederation took place, and leave aside whatever information they transferred, they also built not only pyramids, but also underground cities.
