It's not so much the statements made; they and the whole thing were in pretty good sync. It's the sources themselves; it would be much like citing J.K. Rowling as an authority on medieval alchemy. I do know that documentaries are edited and assembled to maximize the drama, with fact and accuracy consigned to the cutting room floor (as it were). I'm just not sure these sources would have had much to add in any case...

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

Historians are the Cassandras of the Humanities
