I love me some history information, documentaries, and etc. But yeah I get strongly allergic to stuff where suddenly I wonder "Wait did you just logic that out in your head? Like there's no basis for that other than you observing how the thing / situation is?"

I'm sure it has been an issue forever but online especially it seems painful how much of that information there is.

My favorite version of the logic it out:

"People asked me if this tribe was originally from this area or if they migrated here.

I always say: clearly they were from here. The weather is so bad around these parts, who would choose to move here from somewhere else?"
