Jim, you and your friends raised the issue of historians today.
I merely responded to the points all of you put to me.
You say, ""historians" has become a standing joke throughout this forum."

How can you discuss history without referring to history?
That is the joke!
Historians are the source of our knowledge of history.

All of you found that your cherished beliefs are rejected by the historians, so you rejected the historians.
Musket said, "those historians should know better."
That was a real joke.
All of you accepted it. Only Teribus and I saw it as ridiculous.
