<span>"The world would be better off if political boundaries didn't exist" is an indefensible claim. The others can be proven or at least debated over because at some point in time all of them have true and false.

No human account of what has taken place can ever be exhaustive: we simply do not and cannot know enough.

Any history of the Roman Empire will necessarily be selective. A history will be judged as excellent or poor on the basis of how representative it is, how the parts are made to cohere, how evidence has been handled, and the like.

(Even what “salvation” means, what it means to be “saved,” is disclosed in this history.) From this, four things follow:
