If I ever get experimental results with two variables that plot
to form a straight line, I know that the results require some sort of
explanation. The isochron dating approach fits this situation well.
However, is the chronological interpretation the only possible
explanation of the observations?

How can the "chronological" interpretation be distinguished from
other interpretations? (such as the geochemical explanation of
"mixing").

There are frequent discussions of this in the technical literature
and it has also appeared in some creationist publications. So I am
doubtful that this is the answer to your riddle. However, I think it
is a weighty question in its own right and wish to put it on the
table!
Looking forward to December 1st!
