Note to Self

[xenith]

If I choose to watch history docomentaries, I will remember they are intended for entertainment and I will not:

• Make snarky comments after phrases like "absolute proof" or "that can lead to just one conclusion"
  
  
• Point out to them that they are handling metal objects with bare hands.
  
  
• Watch any reenactments closely to find errors
  
  
• Grumble every time there's a DRAMATIC NOISE or FANCY GRAPHICS
  
  
• Turn off the TV if they show someone staring meaningfully off into the distance for any length of time
  
  
• Wonder if the "experts" being consulted are really crackpots pushing their pet theory
  
  
• Check online to find out what the commonly accepted current theories on that subject really are
