I, like most thinking people was always sceptical of most of Watson's claims and time has proved that things like the "100 Monkey syndrome" was mostly anecdotal and the rest pain false. I grew up reading Watson's work and while it was several leagues above the "Von Danikien" rubbish that infested the book stalls you couldn't, or shouldn't take everything printed as factual.
