By saying, “We cannot know in advance or for sure which belief is prejudice and which is truth, but to advanced knowledge we don’t need to know”, (393), he supports his idea. But in order to gain intellect on anything, you have to have knowledge. At the end of the day, we survive on basic knowledge.

Both of these men invite controversy in what they say, but confidently support the points they are trying to get across. After not only reading, but understanding the writing of each of them, it is more clear that a historian and a cartographer are not necessarily liars or fakes, but they also do not get every exact detail down because that would be a replica rather than a representation, which would be impossible to have considering they are completely inaccessible.
