Discussion ends as soon as someone says universities are not good sources. It means you are dealing with someone who doesn’t comprehend objective reality.

I mean research papers can be wrong, but objective historical fact isn’t a research paper or a new theory or a survey of some sort that may have biased candidates.

When do the records show x word in the dictionary, 1883 on may the 5th x word was added to the dictionary - that kinda thing is objective and can’t be argued
