Now if I did that I don't think I'd be lauded as a true master of land management. More an arsonist.

Les,
There is in fact still some considerable scientific argument regarding the extinction of mega fauna & I also think there is, in fact sufficient scientific evidence that looking more closely at land management of the indigenous peoples bears greater scrutiny to see how at least the concepts could be utilised in our modern context.
However, I do understand your point, particularly given where the conversation in this thread has gone...
Cheers
