As you may know Ron, Burns took a pasting around here on the Jazz series, but again, you have phrased something quite well. I don't think Burns focus is on the historian but on the general populace and I think he does that well without dumbing down to the lowest denominator. What Burns does best is to tell history in such a way as to create curiosity and passion for learning in some while not presenting unfactual pieces as many have done.
