Maybe if you date the fossils by the rocks they are found in and then date the rocks by the fossils found in the rocks that the fossils are found in, then you could just pick any date you felt like

Greg, you are saying that there is no application of stratigraphic order in this stuff. I just walk over to a cliff and find a fossil, say it is Cambrian, even though it is sitting on top of whale fossils? Greg, that is hooey.

In places where this happens there is other evidence of the true nature of the unconformity due to the presence of thrust faults or folding. There just aren't that many places on Earth where the fossil record is "upside down". In fact, they are, like you'd expect, exceedingly rare.
