Scientists are sometimes mocked by comedians at their poor
  knowledge of human history.

  I actually couldn't watch Neil DeGrasse Tyson anymore after he
  gave a history of religion that made me shake my head like,
  "what? what!? WHAT!?" - he's not well versed and for someone so
  important to so many people, I really wish he'd get an historian
  on his team.

  Then again, I forget that i'm well versed in history and think
  everybody should be and should cut him some slack. Actually no,
  I'm not that well versed. There's a whole lotta stuff I don't
  know much about, just broad overviews really.... and I'm
  disappointed in my low knowledge of South America, Korea, China,
  and many other places.
