Then there's the last paragraph from the article,
"Mr. Reisz says Tiktaalik is one of several interesting creatures that
lived millions of years before the first animals walked the Earth. He
doubts Tiktaalik ever actually left the water, and speculates it evolved
its interesting features to cope with rapidly flowing water in streams.
"It's an important find, there is no question about that," says Mr.
Reisz. "But it's being a little bit overblown."

That's the problem, they don't "know" anything.
I read one articel in a magazine about the discovery of a previously
unknown civilization. The "scientists" who discovered them made models
of the people and the village they lived in and even went as far as to
discuss thier diet.
All this was based on a tooth that they found. Then it turned out that
the tooth was from a wild pig.
There are even known fakes in the Museum of Natural History that they
claim prove evolution. Even though the guy who "discovered" it admitted
it was fake.
If they can ever prove it, I'll accept it. But they need to come up
with real scientific evidence.
