The maker of LexiLine, a law school graduate, has been arguing for as long as he can remember that the study of man's history should be EVIDENCE-BASED and NOT "authority-based".
Too many things in science and scholarship are taken for granted as facts based on somebody's "say-so". Indeed, in archaeology, there is an unwritten rule that for the first 10 years (!) only the finder of an artifact can publish about it.
Of course, there is no guarantee that a finder is also competent to interpret correctly what he or she has found, so this practice allows original erroneous interpretations to become fixed over time by default, later to be adopted as givens simply on the "say-so" of the original finders. It is a very strange practice that leads to errors.
