See I think there is a value in stuff like this that is being overlooked in all the gnashing of teeth and rending of raiment over 'counter-knowledge', and that is the value of evidence. It encourages people to look for evidence and weigh up the claims made. They are sceptical, less likely to accept anyone's word for something. It makes them less susceptible to propaganda and spin, and more likely to form opinions for themselves.
And, defenders of democracy, isn't that what it is supposed to be all about?

Great post.Taking someone else's word for every single historical find isn't learning anything.
