My favorite example is when I talk about medieval hygiene and someone replies: “but yes, they were dirty in the Middle Ages, look at the French king Louis XIV for example, he never took a bath willingly for his all life”. And then I look at them with a look that is both dejected and tired and I wait to see if they understands on their own.
I feel like the cross section of “people who knew King Louis XIV refused to take baths” and “people who don’t know even approximately when Louis XIV ruled” would be relatively small. Is that not the case?
