You gotta think like a Music Executive to understand their logic. EMI's CEO has proved his tactical sense for next quarter results is strong, while his strategic business sense is as low as the IQ of his Turd.
His next salary/bonus will be calculated according to the results of the next quarters. So will the values of his stocks. Why would he cares about where EMI is in a few year?
When was the las time you heard a CEO say: "I was wrong 5 years ago, so i'll quit my job and give back my big bonus."

History text books get "updated" quite often. If we find new graves, new texts or new ruins our views on this part of history might change and the textbooks will probably change.
I've never heard of a correction in the bible because we found new evidence about humans older that Adam or archeologic information that might modify some small part of the story.

PS: I agree with you that to a large extend accepted history might still have some big errors. But when we find evidence about that our textbooks will probably get updated.
According to the movie linked in another comment, a study looking for the purest less "copyrighted" wild corn in mexico found out that event this one had trace of mosanto genes.

In a AI course, the teacher once told us that during the first weeks of the first Iraq war the ability to solve complex logistic problems in hours instead of weeks was largely worth all the money invested in IA research since the 60's.
So when the military talks about AI you don't need to think only about intelligent robot soldiers.
Of course the US has the power to transform the whole Iraq teritory into some nice shiny glass with a small fraction of its nuclear bombs or can send super-trained marins with flame-throwers and huge machin-guns to kill every body in Iraq.
But I think what the grand-parent meant is not exactly this. It is more like: protecting the civilians, creating a new stable democratic government, etc...
Germany was invaded by americans long ago. You are about 50 years late. I don't know if you ever heard about something nicknamed WWII. The americans invaded germany (this time they actualy had quite good reasons to do so) and created some base and now they are still there. So technicaly, it is still invaded.

33k ought to be enough for anybody.
By your logic all history is faith.
