    It wasn’t an insult. You’re the person who sees any disagreement as a critique of their nonexistent intellectual authority, apparently.

    Also I didn’t miss any implications. FF’s assassination couldn’t by itself prepare troops and railroads for close war. That it was used as a formal cause means nothing. In 1870 France declared war on Prussia with the formal reason of being insulted (EDIT: this is false, they made some demands and such, dunno where I got this from). Tail doesn’t wag the dog.
