For someone studying the occasional history unit, it comes in handy. It's an archive of primary documents packaged into neat little categories so you can find what yr researching easily. Personally, seeing Rini's misuse of the word 'revisionism', it's pretty clear that he thinks a primary school (is that elementary school in the US) education gives him the skills to sit and waffle about what a historian does. It only took a basic first-year history unit for me to learn that revision is healthy and that history isn't some static thing that remains the same. While there's historical revisionism that isn't healthy, such as the stuff from the holocaust deniers, no real historian would tell you that all historical revision is bad, just the extreme stuff that I mentioned...
