Right. You know. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I think that's why, you know, experts themselves feel a lot of inadequacy is because they study a subject and realize, like, I'm never going to get to the bottom of this hole. Right.

Yeah. And part of the whole, like what I was trying to get Billy in that conversation that I had with him to get to the bottom of partly was a question of methodology. Like I think he got, he got frustrated at me at one point. Cause I kept asking, you know, what are the criteria that you're using to when you're looking at one source versus another source and coming up with a conclusion.

Because in historiography, it's the inference to the best explanation. And so there are different ways that you go about that, different methodologies. And historians very rarely disagree on the data and evidence. It's the conclusions that you draw from that. But then there are some things that are just out and out false.

And I don't think Billy totally knew what I was talking about, but it's those criteria that we look at when we look at something that does come from like an oral tradition and eventually gets written down and becomes a literary text. And then you analyze that on the basis of it being a literary text.
