But the difference is that Witherington published his article in a scholarly journal where it could be properly discussed by other scholars. James Cameron on the other hand made a TV special before giving scholars a chance to review his claims. Cameron's claims have been widely rejected by archaeologists.

It’s absolutely not a publicity stunt.” It’s true that a prophet has no honor in his own country. The press in Witherington’s native Kentucky have delicately raised the issue of the pot calling the kettle black, that is, the pot calling the ossuary cracked in Witherington’s overheated (the gentleman protests too much) protestations against the latest “biggest New Testament find” in his lifetime.
