Hard to say whether the evidence is substantial... and not everyone is trying to make a name. Some of us just want the truth.

But isn't every research scientist trying to make a name for themselves? From the article it seems they sufficiently answered the sand question or did I miss something?

Yeah, I know. I think the onus is now on the researchers to show that wind had nothing to do with the formation of these chevrons. And if they cannot do that then they need to go home and rework their theory. Anyone who has ever visited the desert can find a place where prevailing winds form ventifacts. And that's what these chevrons look like... like giant earthen dunes.

Personally, I think the researchers are trying to go big and make a name for themselves like the Alvarezes. Unfortunately, they'll need a lot more work in order to achieve that end.
