I would like to make a comment on the fact that many people think that a contribution is valuable, despite its inaccuracy, simply because it's a contribution. Not so. A US citizen, even a famous and skilled driver, should not go to the UK or Japan, for instance, and teach people to drive on the wrong side of the road.
