re: #97 CuriousLurker

I guess I have to give up then because I just don’t see how someone can study an ancient religious text without understanding the religion (or an ancient medical text without understanding medicine, or an ancient map without understanding geography, etc.)

Clarification: I see how they can or might be forced to study these things without understanding (i.e. if the info simply wasn’t available), but I can’t see how they would get much out of it.
