And then maybe we go, okay, we pick one of these dates for when the pronouncement is made at Delphi. Oh, damn, we got it wrong. You know, like, so maybe the chronology is a little bit off or something like that. Or there's some other debatable historical point. Would my 17-year-old self care about that?
