But currently it is 2025, how do you explain that?

To answer the question: The professor assumes the email referred to 1900-1910 with “late 1900s”. As this was normal 20 years ago (and still gets used). He then gets upset realising the age difference between him and his student was likely the main contributor to this incorrect assumption.

To ask a question back: From https://www.bucknell.edu/fac-staff/john-penniman, I read:

John Penniman is Associate Professor and chair of Religious Studies

I would say for religious studies it should be fine. But also for other areas, why can’t you use 1994 papers?

So where is your battery percentage to judge?

Kanye specified most famous person. To me it looks accurate, not sure which other big person I might be missing
