I could cut him a *lot* of slack for just making a simple mistake, but not for making the bold claim that he did -- when his claim was obviously false. Remember, he said: "I am convinced it is a corn. There were normal corns from the same area to match it with. The head on this one matches the other corns and the patches of “normal” look like corn pattern."
He later admitted that he had NOT actually made a good examination of the snake before he made that first claim -- in which case, he should never have made the claim in the first place. Mistakes are one thing, but deliberately making false claims is quite another.
