    Are you dodging the question? What makes someone a historian? Is anybody who writes a book on history automatically an authority on history?

      Well this question is very different than the other question, but both are intentionally foolish misrepresentations of my statements so I reckon my answers would be “wrong” no matter what I said. So I’ll just tell you what you wanted to hear the first time: yes, I think “writing a book makes you a historian”. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
