Incidentally and to show Nevets how it's done, when I first wrote this...
I actually wrote 400 fucking years.
I'm not sure quite why I wrote that when I know it wasn't 400 years before, but it was wrong. I noticed it was wrong after I'd submitted the post and after reading back through it. But mea culpa - I most definitely wrote the wrong date, and I can't even claim it was a fat-fingered typo else it would have been 100 or 300... apparently, my brain at that moment simply popped up the wrong number - numbers have always been a problem for me.
Anyway, I corrected it because that's what you do when you're wrong. You don't dig deeper, double-down, and start calling out other people for noting your error.
Maybe Nevets can learn from this.
