Of course MIT Proffessor “Over” Eagar wasn’t the only Proffessor to set aside the scientific process of analysis and replace it with the TIGHAR “Preposterous of Evidence” method.

Prof Janz’s  “identification” of bones found in 1941 on Gardiner Island (Nikumaroro) as being 99% likely to be Amelia Earhart (partly on an argument that it cant be anyone else?) , it is important to note that there is a bloody big ship wreck on that island that Tighar and Prof Janz politely ignore and his report specifically states that he doesn’t at all consider the possibility that the “castaway” might be one of the 8 missing crew members from that shipwreck?

This is called levitating by pulling on ones shoe laces.

There is no evidence that Earhart or her Electra were ever on the island but each Tighar hypothesis assumes that fact has already been proven and that then supports that finding via this next “analysis”.

Here is an extract of Prof Janzs report summary.

Note that there are 8 missing “male” crew members from the wreck of the Norwich City and he ignores the obvious strong possibility that the skelton of the “stocky male” could have easily been one of those! ie that one or more made it ashore badly injured or elsewhere on the island, and after the other survivors had been rescued, became marooned and stranded as the castaway

Proffessor Janz is another of those “experts fooled for many years” , along with Photogrammetry “Expert” Jeff Glickman and Archaeologist Tom King.

it seems difficult to conclude that Earhart had zero probability of being on Nikumaroro Island. From a forensic perspective the most parsimonious scenario is that the bones are those of Amelia Earhart. She was known to have been in the area of Nikumaroro Island, she went missing, and human remains were discovered which are entirely consistent with her and inconsistent with most other people. Furthermore, it is impossible to test any other hypothesis, because except for the victims of the Norwich City wreck, about whom we have no data, no other specific missing persons have been reported. It is not enough merely to say that the remains are most likely those of a stocky male without specifying who this stocky male might have been. This presents us with an untestable hypothesis, not to mention uncritically setting aside the prior information of Earhart’s presence.
