Let's not analyze theory too much.  Basically, it is still what guides our
research whether you prescribe to a particular one, draw from a variety of
theories, or don't believe you have any.  We all have some type of
theoretical basis that influences our research.

Even though history truely is "bunk", humans still have an insatiable need
to understand it, use it, relive it, change it, make it, etc.....
