Ralph is a wanna-be scholar. His knowledge of history is great, but his
grasp of how it all fits together is strictly limited.

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest
complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it
be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they
delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to
others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of
their lives. - Tolstoy
