And I try to use AD / BC instead of CE /BCE. CE and BCE don't avoid
the assumption; as much as I would also like to avoid the assumption,
since the numbers are the same, it still remains, just with different
names.
 
Giving something a different name doesn't really fix the problem, and
I greatly dislike the pretense that it does.
