No, basically DCP plays the "I'm tired of attempting conversation with beastie" card, and notes, in passing, that her assertion of glaringly obvious errors in the DVD might not play so well if she asserted it in a place where those who made the allegedly obvious errors (and who have solid training and substantial experience in Mesoamerican studies) were aware of it. This latter point seems fairly uncontroversial.

Beastie is welcome to submit her critique to the FARMS Review.
There's no guarantee that we would publish it -- I don't make such guarantees in advance, and certainly wouldn't do so in the case of an unfamiliar author -- but we would consider it.
This uncomfortable fact is the reason why LDS apologetics have developed theories such as the tapir theory.
