No, I did watch them, but it's not like I examine every single symbol they show. I see the flag, I see the guy putting up the flag, but since they only show that flag once I don't pay any mind to the design. I can't concentrate on EVERY LITTLE DETAIL, just the important stuff. Besides that, I forget what the confederate state's flag looked like anyway. Some things I'm good at remembering and others I'm not. Years, outdated symbols, names... terrible with those. Concepts, the story, and the science behind it, that I remember.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
