ABSTRACT
Vérité en-deça des Pyrénées, erreur au delà. (There are truths on this side of the Pyrenees that are falsehoods on the other.)1
In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west…he called the people he met “Indians” and came home and reported to his king and queen, “The world is round.” I set off for India 512 years later…I went east…I came home and reported only to my wife and only in a whisper, “The world is flat.”2
