A 7th grader decided that today would be a good day to argue with me about the history of ship design.
Given that I hold a master's degree in Maritime Studies (don’t ask) and that it’s December in junior high, that was unwise.
This thread has really sunk to new depths, but I expect smooth sailing ahead

Welp, y’all have really managed to torpedo another conversation.
Pretty much your conversation, in fact. FWIW, I would have loved to have been there. I'll bet you even did it with relative gentleness, but 7th grade is just such fertile ground for a total smackdown. Kids that really don't know anything, yet, but are brimming with unfounded confidence. But I'm sure you piloted him in the right direction.
