Im wondering because they do a lot of weird and random comparisons...

I viewed the site, and found the basic history{timelines} to be ok. But in several areas I found truths buried in massive amounts of personal speculation. I would not use this site as a source of reliable information.
 
Yah there were a bunch of weird things being compared. There was things like "ohh... the nation of sierra leone: GDP growth 3.3%. Compared to 2.5% for Russia and 4.9% for the UK" (Not real figures, just an example). I'm just thinking "... what does any of that have to do with anything else? There not including "the country directly higher then it and lower" or anything so it confused me.
 
Why does he insist that great men through history accomplished their greatest deeds when they were forty?
