Is This Mulek Study Better or Worse Evidence Than Nahom?

Mulek seems to have some actual archaeology behind the name. Nahom has been claimed as being one of the all time great and powerful evidences for Book of Mormon authenticity. Why don't the apologists like this Mulek item as much? At least I don't see them use this. Where are the weaknesses of this study and the archaeological material? If you were presented this by missionaries, how would you respond on this evidence?

Here is Robert Smith's study, the same Robert over on the other board. Does this have validity?

When it comes to FARMS stuff, a good rule of thumb is to disregard it until it is verified by a competent non-Mormon historian or archaeologist.

This is, of course, sooooooo true! I shall have to do some prodding amongst non Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint scholars and inquire as to their spiritual enlightenments on this most magnificent evidence in favor of the Book of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
