It was in response to your original, unedited comment: "Pretty well understood" or something to that effect.
My point is that discounting historical accounts with a link to current information is neither particularly useful nor interesting.
IMO it is much more interesting to understand how our understanding has changed over time.
The link also contains information of the history of the current understanding? And is a direct summary of current understanding? I guess that contains your constraints for an interesting article (as it includes historical and current references that cover said history). So, what am I missing?
Also, I didn't edit the main premise of the comment, as it still contains the phrase "Pretty well understood today", unedited, but whatever.
EDIT: I have now removed that phrase as my comment was flagged. I mean, "fuck off" to whoever did that. My original comment had "Pretty well understood today" with the wikpedia link.
Stupid shit, imo
Community here continually becomes less "don't be a dick" from 2009 and more "fuck you, toe the line"
