As your contribution to living history is negligible, and your displayed
knowledege of written history is vestigial at best, you should really
stay away from this one.

Your bad maths is better than your worse history.

A skeptic is someone who is distrustful of a presented assertion. Pretty
much everyone in this newsgroup has been distrustful of your results,
and we have been attempting to elicit more concrete examples and
evidence for your claims for quite a long time. Undoubtedly, we have
acted more like skeptics than you.

not living harder than not studying history.
