1- Everyone who writes in the same language is from the same country and ethnic group. 2- Everyone who wrote in Latin is Italian 3- Newton and Descartes wrote in Latin THEREFORE: ::: Newton and Descartes are Italian. Impeccable logic ! Another gem of flawless argumentation is to say "who cares about ethnicity?! and let's just move on". Well it's been almost two millennia of misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Why don't we just get this very simple fact correct and apply the same intellectual scrutiny that we apply to other areas here as well? IMHO This is just inexcusable sloppiness and to be honest beneath any human being with a modicum of culture.
