250. Don't be ignorant!
It doesn't matter when it happened, when one version of events is found out not to be wholly accurate, it's not second-guessing, it's making the new revelations a part of the whole historical picture.

It used to be said that Columbus discovered America, we found out more than 60 years later that he didn't discover it, as much as he stumbled on it while lost. Forget the fact that using the word "discovered" negates the presence of Native Americans.

...second guessing history... what a muddled way of thinking.
