  "Towards history? I'm talking one this one very specific situation." Have you ever read a (U.S.) high school history textbook? They bring a similarly simplifying tone to the thousands of singular specific situations in the past and it does everyone a disservice. "You're also taking those lines out of context." I'm guilty of this, yes. I suppose what it comes down to is that I do not share your line of reasoning; Aaron's reputation is not hurt in my eyes.

    This isn't a high school history text book, this is a conversation some hackers are having early on a sunday morning.

  Honestly, his comment changed my mind. I hadn't read that "timeline" pdf before. So to me, his comment was very interesting.
