Trevor Kenchington rightly takes me to task for making unqualified statements about the naming and discovery of America, about Vespucci, Columbus, and Cabot, in reply to questions by Doug Royer. It's true that history is seldom as clear-cut as I made it out to be, and Trevor's words of caution are indeed appropriate.
