Just following up. So by putting "facts" in quotation marks, you're saying that they're not real facts (and implying inaccuracy). Are there specific examples you'd want to share?
I remember that show as a roaring river of information, all delivered with Burke's speedy narration. So if there's something that seems off after 40-plus years, I think I'd still be inclined to accept the larger context of information in which it appears.
- labrador 5y agoFrom my other comment: > his claim that freeze drying was invented by the coffee industry in S. America because they had extra beans is easily proven false by 2 minutes of research The show should be called "Associations" because that would be more accurate. He puts things together that have no connection beyond sharing one or two properties. I loved the show, don't get my wrong, but viewing it later in life showed me it wasn't what I thought it was
- eesmith 5y agoHe doesn't say it was invented by the coffee industry in S. America. He says it was invented by the Nestlé company.
