   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.
