I like Scott for suggesting things I would never think of.
Today he 'saved the best story for last' and then couldn't recall the name of his source.

Peter Tompkins - Wikipedia
His best-known books are The Secret Life of Plants (1973), Secrets of the Great Pyramid (1971; paperback reprint, 1997), and Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramids (1976). His Secrets of the Great Pyramid, Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramids and The Magic of Obelisks have become classics of "New Age" literature. [3]
The hardback was a d*amned heavy book. I don't think I had a college text book that weighed more. It's still around here somewhere.

Your 'case in point'? The weasel-word gotcha is '...and continue to function'.
