I wouldn't cite him in a graded paper either. But he tells a good story and does provide where his information comes from. He admits he is a storyteller and not a historian.
As long as people take it with a grain of salt. Though I honestly don't even trust myself to take something with the appropriate amount of salt, because you get influenced by what you consume, even when consciously resisting it.
I mean that's just good advice for anything.
Of course, but dosing the salt is the key.
Historian devoting his life to one subject: some amount of salt.
Historian writing about a great number of subjects: some more salt.
History degree but not spent his life being a historian: more.
Not a historian: more.
Not a historian and a major league kook: yuge amount.
