I have concerns around this issue of the historical record. We look back and do a study on development in different parts of the world, and our country in particular. I say this carefully, but I don't know if it's an issue of then looking back and it being a kind of guilt issue. I don't find that provides me with anything tangible or concrete. It's kind of like historians meandering to draw some conclusions there on who developed based on what, and who got the advantage over some other countries, I guess.
