There's nothing beneficial about discussing history with somebody who is incapable of conducting a historical investigation. I think that most people should be able to answer a question such as the last book they read, their favorite color, what year it is, who's president, where they are, and why it smells like toast. Do you catch my drift

Of course I could answer if I wanted, I simply choose not to. They're pointless distractions. I'm more interested in staying on topic, while you seem hell-bent on making this have nothing to do with history and only about me personally and how I'm not good enough for you.

I wonder why...?

Anyways, the purpose is in the love for history. Most of us are here for enjoyment, only you are here to sell something.

The only way that would be possible is if I had never read a single book in my entire life. While a common hyperbolic claim, we both know that's a little unrealistic, don't you think? Would be very difficult to make it through schooling without doing at least some reading, after all.

This is a very silly argument to hang your hat on. Might want to think it through a little more.
