You're right history is a marker, yet history gets it wrong too. History says Scheffler couldn't win and could still be right this year. Had to put it on the board though that i would never change my mind like that again, to help it - just maybe - be true. LOL
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
