    inherited experience seems more valid than no experience at all or knowledge procured from period literature allowed by the censors

    Let me just clarify something

    Are you asking if feels you have because of genetic ancestry count more than documentary evidence?

    Because that’s fucking nuts. Bonko crazy.

    Or perhaps by “inherited experience” you mean second hand anecdotes? You know that documentary evidence is legally admissible and hearsay is not and for a good reason right?

    It’s because “my grandma once told me when I was young” is an atrociously unreliable source of evidence whereas contemporary records are a profoundly reliable source of evidence.
