Another Embarassment

I embarassed myself again, this time on a group for the etsy team, Mad Scientists of Etsy. To tell the short version, I wrote"everybody knows that one of the Leakeys came clean about their hoax,"
or close to that.

First of all, I was brought up better than to use words like: everybody, nobody,always, or never.

Then, I googled Leakey hoax, and it doesn't seem to be as clear cut as I thought it was. If anyone knows where I can read a fairly reliable account, please let me know.

To set the record straight, I have no problem with evolution or long earth history. It looks pretty sure that God did it that way. As I've posted here before, I like how the Reasons to Believe crowd and Gerald Schroeder discuss it.

It's just the Leakeys with whom I have a problem.

I would really like some feedback on this. Thank you.
