Confidemus Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's not particularly aimed at VT either - there's been some toppers pulled in as "expert witnesses" by the Glasgow Law School - I'm sure Confi will post them. Fraid not. I want this thread to linger in the utter owning that VT handed H_B a little longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bojangles Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I openly admit to Google search being a friend - who wouldn't? That being said it does make sense to check your source is credible. That's why I always check the background of the source - no point in being ridiculed for pulling out an "expert" in the field who turns out not to be. That's not particularly aimed at VT either - there's been some toppers pulled in as "expert witnesses" by the Glasgow Law School - I'm sure Confi will post them. It was HB who brought him up. And I think you'll find you should have said "There have been some toppers" Source: Anthony C.

Antiochas III Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Unfortunately for HB I don't think he read the subject essay before he posted. Although I learnt something new, according to the historian come IT specialist The Ottoman Empire was actually called Turkey. Not even Standard Grade history would let you away with that glaring error 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
