Guest,

To be impressed with their evidence is one thing, but to be so impressed as to blindly follow their conclusions without balancing it against what we also know from other sources

The history books, and the historians who write them, are where normal people learn their history.
Your "other sources" seems to refer to political dogma.

I claimed that the historians agree my points.
They do. None have been found who disagree.

I do not claim that the Mudcat Comrades are capable of understanding their findings.
You clearly are not, but who cares? It is no challenge to me.
