          In sum, I don't have major issue w/ paper, I don't think you should either, & some critiques go too far; see alsohttps://twitter.com/preshitorian/status/907186879656873986 …

          Dr Rachel Pope @preshitorian
          Having read Viking warrior paper + critique in full, find few issues w. science / interp (caveats aside). I'd advise climbing off bandwagon.

          Essentially, amount of scepticism we exhibit over interpreting 581 as a warrior should be similar to that which we'd show if they were XY :)
