Peter Novick is basically considered the father of modern historiography. To reduce his work to "philosophy 101" is incredibly dismissive of a great mind and an important figure who has done much for history as a field. His work is thoughtful, interesting, and important, if a bit dry.
You claim I am ignorant yet you are dismissing a cornerstone of humanities as a field without even knowing who he is or what he wrote. That's like saying "I don't really know who this Cerf guy is but I don't give a shit what you learned in CompSci 101." That would be profoundly ignorant to say.
Have a good one man. I'm done. This was a really shitty interaction to have today but I guess that's just one more reason to spend less time around here. Not going to let you get me all bent out of shape. Cheers.
