I never said that any intelligent person exposed to my experience of history should reach my conclusions. In fact, if you asked me whether such is the case, I WOULD MOST EMPHATICALLY DENY IT: I would regard it as an insult to another person's intelligence and experience to say that in the same circumstances he MUST reach the conclusions I did. Any intelligent person can reach any view about any issue; even grossly and ludicrously wrong views. It was not a fool who proposed Colin Renfrew's theory of Indo-European history (to mention one area where I can speak with authority).
