You have to admit though the average American has no clue about European political history at all. I'm much better than the vast majority of Americans on this front.
That may be so, but then the average American does not hold forth as an authority on the issue...
Well I'm an authority on the current economic situation of Europe. I'm fairly good on the current political situation in Europe. I'm probably decent on issues of European political history. No where did I ever say that I was an authority on European political history. You inferred that on to me because of the fact that I've taken authority status on other issues.
The problem here is that most people here do know a fair bit about European political history.
