Factual errors
Many faults in this documentary:
1. Vienna was sieged on their own land, ottomans were the invaders.
In Israel, they are expanding outside their borders, continuously taking more land by force...basically trying to drive out the Palestinians.
2. I wonder if Niall realizes that we are still using the Arabic numerals in every scientific application.
3. While Israel has many engineers and quite many patents, most northern European countries have more per capita approved (such as Finland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden).
4. Israel has so many engineers simply because of the huge amounts of funds it receives from the US, vast majority are military (and related fields) engineers.
And, stop using "killer app" in every other sentence. It makes you look moronic.
