Pandering to other cultures beliefs through some guilt

[The Atheist]

And yet it places "western science" on the same level as "maori worldview". Science and maori myths "both have authority".

We already have certain evidence that mātauranga Maori trumps engineering when a road designed for efficiency and safety had to me moved because a 10m2 pond was home to a taniwha.

I worked out that as well as costing an extra $300k for the road to be redesigned, it costs the country over $500,000 a year in increased transport costs caused by the extra distance needed to avoid the pond.

Because the idea of (an official) world record is based on operational definitions and associated technologies in Western culture. There is however no reason for athletics culture in NZ to not embrace any such person’s feats and lore. Western sports are full of such oral traditions that lack strict measurement conditions.

We had a mile race in the '80s which set a record of 3:28. https://spikes.worldathletics.org/post/golden-queen-street-mile Current fastest is 3:24, compared to the official record of 3:43.

Would be less controversial if it was a site related to the Jesus or other myths valued in Western culture.

Tell me you're playing the fool without telling me your playing the fool:

Acting proud about getting a better time on a downhill track.

I can't think of any circumstances that would have happened.

We've bulldozed hundreds of churches and shifted thousands of graves from christian and Jewish cemeteries without an outcry resulting in change to plans.
