  Ignorance is bliss as they say. however, "let me light this glowing-blue stuff on fire to see if it is gun powder" really sounds like they forgot the part where he said "hold my beer"

    I mean, I can respect an experimentalist approach. It certainly seems foolish when considered on the assumption that everyone in the world knew as much about radiation forty years ago as you and I know today, but so to assume would constitute flagrant historiographical presentism.

      granted, i did omit the 40 years ago factor in my judging.
