Traditionalists hold a lot of power when it comes to changing things. It's true in baseball and football. However, sometimes tradition impedes progress.
My sense of history is fine. Why are you trying to turn this into a fight? I've gone out of my way to be friendly towards those who might like tradition.

No fight intended. I'm just pointing out that something comtemporary is not antiquated.
If you don't like knickers, fine. I am not emotionally involved in that issue. As a teacher, however, I have an annoying penchant for accuracy.
As for a sense of history, I find that many people consider 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago to be a long time. Those with a sense of history realize that they are not.
