Sorry, I was writing to HN more than responding to you particularly. It is sometimes easy for non-scientists to underestimate scientists and think of them as fools, when in fact the problems are frequently hard.

I believe that you are correct that about the time of the salmon poster there were other methods available for multiple comparison correction. The work in the early- to mid-2000's was much more "wild-west" however.

Indeed cluster correction may have its own issues, re your link. I think that a good approach these days is to eschew whole-brain approaches for theory-drive, a prior i ROIs, then supplement those analyses with a whole brain exploratory analysis.
