::::::Ten miles is six''teen'' kilometres; perhaps the reporter or someone misheard or something. And Ken Ham was working for ICR in California before starting Answers in Genesis in the U.S., so existing location was not a factor. (Incidentally, the move to the Cincinnati area was made before the museum property was obtained; AiG was in another location in the area initially, were offered or nearly bought a property for the museum, but that fell through, then they got this one, and relocated their headquarters to it as well as built the museum.)

:::::::Well, that's my point. They had located in Cincinnati before looking for a location for the museum. Or was the museum already being planned when Cincinnati was chosen? Did Ham really take out a population map of the U. S. and systematically look for a central location, based on some predefined criteria? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 05:49, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

:::::::The odd thing is that several of these newspaper stories say the museum was (e.g.) "chosen for its strategic location" but this seems to be the reporter's summary of what Ham said, not a direct quotation.
:::::::Yeah, I'm obsessing about this way too much, but at the moment I'm thinking the museum ''is'' in a good location, but that there is not yet any basis for saying that it "was chosen" for its strategic location, and, oddly, not even a basis for saying "Ham says it was 'chosen for its strategic location'".
