"So the scientific approach in this case would be:"

You forgot the mother load of ice cores, Antarctica. Not to mention the ones available in Europe and, until recently, Africa.

Resolution on ice cores is very fine as such things go. Often can be resolved to years, at least to a decade. So I guess you should be surprised. There are usually obvious demarcations from year to year and the sample size required to do an analysis is pretty small these days. Now true, if there is an extended warming spell, information can be lost about particular years. But resolution to a particular year is rarely required.
