You got me on the first point. That was some rhetorical hyperbole. Your second point, however, proves another of mine. Scholars all have bias. So if the last 75 years of history books have been written exclusively by liberals, as GGG would suggest, they may be good books, but they may also be telling us less than the full story. You might be assessing what's great without necessary comparisons.
