If you think I've got something incorrect, please leave a (pleasant) comment about it down below, I'll check it out. If you do so, make sure to use some sort of reliable source, in oppose to a generic website/YouTube video/Wikipedia. If I conclude that I was wrong, I'll pin a comment about it, or just pin your comment.
