Juan, I think this is *really a matter of context and life experiences. ;)

we started from this position: I didn't hear the lady in question, and you hadn't read the book. when I read your statement, having read the book, I made the immediate connection: I thought I knew who the founding brothers were and why they were being called that by some, and it wasn't a big deal to me. that's all. well now it's too late for me to hear the lady, but I still can recommend the book to you.

and as Faldage said, we'd both know a lot more about the context if we'd read both books..
