I loved doing research in the 50s and 60s, working the library open stacks, using microfiche, culling newspaper archives, and doing original source comparison to quoted text in textbooks. All to prove to a professor that his trusted textbook for his most beloved university course was grossly inaccurate and heavily skewed by author bias. I proved my point to the scholar review board, the prof failed me anyway, and my life work of forensic investigation was set in motion by one classroom argument.
