A common refrain hurled by those completely ignorant of how historiography works.

Please don't post snarky dismissals to HN. It sounds like you know a lot about history. If someone is wrong, explain why, so we all learn something. Putting other people down because they don't know as much as you doesn't belong in thoughtful conversation.

This applies to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13940423 too.
