Ep #972: Willie's Comment About History

[Mysterious Benefactor]

From the current first Robservations slideshow: apparently DS was way ahead of its time:

1970: Ep #972 - Willie: 'History's supposed to
be the truth - I mean this, this is a pack of lies.'

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...

I’ll refrain on commenting on Willie’s prescience, but in observing Barnabas, looking so intently at his longtime servant, I wonder if Mr. B. is saying to himself, “I wonder where Willie got the scratch to buy a Burberry trench coat? I certainly don’t pay him enough to afford such expensive threads.”

LOL to both!!!

It’s funny how that works.
 I remember learning in school about the evolution of the peppered moth supposedly being because of pollution, but later in life a very pro evolution person explained it wasn’t a great example of evolution because earlier environmentalist were behind the paper (or study).  He implied it was inaccurate if not worse than that. 

Or you have history books that are mistaken for lack of information like all the dinosaurs theories that started changing sometime before Jurassic Park came out.
