Scott added he would say to historians questioning the accuracy of his storytelling:

“Were you there? Oh you weren’t there. Then how do you know?”

Because the people who were there wrote it down, and now we can read it. Scott's line of reasoning is inherently inconsistent because if followed it would mean we have to evidence of Napoleon Bonaparte existing in the first place. Boy is Ridley Scott going to feel dumb when he realizes he made a biopic of a mythical character combined from the real stories of several French generals after the revolution—if there even was a French Revolution, I mean, we weren't there.

Is there anything more embarrassing than people who think they know better than historians and reject the entire discipline of historiography? It's like being anti-vax but extended to everything you don't personally see.

This from the guy who doesn't know how to use his own computer? Don't try to save face.

Which brings it full circle, since the Ghostbusters theme is a ripoff of I Need a New Drug by Huey Lewis and the News

Bravecels are all the same, maybe they get two extra shitcoins every time they shill for it.

It makes it easier for people who struggle to enable it, and the able bodied can learn turn it off as well as the shortcut. It's not for you or about you, you weren't considered at all. Skill issue

It seems very emotionally important to you that you believe that. Best of luck.

Don't be belligerent and you won't get the door slammed on you, being upset about tone of a message to the point of it overriding your ability to accept its content is overly emotional and extremely childish.

wrong, which you are

UHHH SOURCE?!?! SOURCE????????

Do you also ask for sources when people contend that Julius Caesar was a real person, or that the world is round? Go to JSTOR and start building your case if you're so keen to display your ignorance about common knowledge, or do you need a SOURCE to tell you that JSTOR actually exists and isn't a modern fiction?
