At the end of my life if I can see my stats… I have absolute confidence that I’ll be top 10 in all of history for books read and time spend reading respectively… I mean I’ve read at least 80 thousand separate stories by now and that’s within the last 10 years… so who knows how many I’ll have read by the end-nyah. :meowsip:

What do historians even do? Like, regarding their professional skills. A historian may document a war, but without them having military education, I'd not consider their analysis trustworthy, they may document economy, but without an economist education, I'd consider their analysis untrustworthy, they may look through legal documents but if they are not a lawyer...

Especially if it's a very multifaceted topic, like the entire history of an empire. If historian talks about tactics with which empire waged wars on one page, and then does an economic analysis on the other, and all they have to their name is a history degree and they don't cite people who have more fitting qualifications on each topic - then it's roughly as believable as LotR.
