Nah, I read the whole series recently and for some details that bothered me looked up the how the science on that progressed. I can't give you exact examples as I don't remember details, but I do know that there's a bunch of very mistaken assumptions that the series is built on that he had no way of knowing back when he started and had to keep going forward (remember, the series was written over several decades starting in the fourties) and also a bunch of errors where he could have known better but just messed up.

Okay. We both agree that you have access to information that some who died in the last century wouldn't have known.

I mean, obviously? That's not what I was saying at all. I think you misinterpreted my original post in a big way.
