I must admit I'm not sure how one would distinguish an agenda, from simply a viewpoint that has remained unchanged.

My education in history differs from most of HNs, so I find it difficult to let slide a field of study that omits half of the history it claims to represent. Nevertheless, if you insist, I'll refrain from commenting on this topic entirely in the future (I would offer to comment in a non-flamewar style, but if my above post counts as flamewar, I don't think there's a way to express my perspective without it).
