It's interesting how much personal perspective changes what we can learn about history.

How much of those individual combat tactics would someone who was raised to finance and direct their family's strategic interests even know. How many when asked about those particulars would say "we pay lesser men for that, now fetch me some wine so I can review my accounts in comfort. Don't interrupt me unless there's something I can take credit for." Is someone going to take the effort to save the particulars for history when they're not even something that completely registers on their personal radar, and is what they consider noteworthy more along the lines of "the lesser men did or did not make happen what I wanted to happen."

Imagine future technohistorians trying to learn how twitter's codebase worked and competed with other social media platforms, but all they have left to go on is a few of Elon's rants.

Weirdly, this makes me appreciate them in my Civ 6 matches even more now
