RE: In San Francisco, Virus is Contained but Schools Are Still Closed
I really don't understand your fascination with the prominence of a historian. Prominence doesn't immediately infer being correct. Charles Beard was one of the most prominent of the 20th century historians yet I doubt you can find very many who give his economic theories credence. William Dunning was just as prominent at the turn of the century, yet no one accepts his race-based theories on Reconstruction.
Prominence does not automatically make one correct. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
