Mea Culpa: The oldest borders in Europe (and in the World)
aetherialporosity.substack.com
Dear most excellent reader, I write to you today as an act of contrition. I have sinned against Rigour and against you. I have proved undeserving of your trust. I have no excuse, so I don the proverbial hairshirt and shall do my utmost to mortify my pride as a collector of facts about Portugal through the righting of this great wrong. (Except I do have a bit of an excuse: it was an honest mistake; I was misled at an early age; and one can sort of argue my claim wasn’t actually wrong under a not completely unreasonable set of criteria. But I did share a supposed fact without checking its veracity. And to be honest I’m not amazingly comfortable with the criteria one needs to assume to make me right.) Anyway, I can only hope you’ll see I’m truly repentant and committed to righting the errors of my ways, and kindly find it in your heart to place your trust in me again.
