[Aztlan] Query: Mesoamerican colleague protocol

[S.A. Morris]

Original Query: What is the protocol between colleagues when one publishes a
recent paper
and another colleague sees the information differently?

The summary of off-list responses were similar to Craig's post.
Informative and enlightening to some of the realities experienced or
observed between colleagues.

What is the accepted protocol for an amateur to disagree (inclusive of
researched references) with a professional's recent paper?
