Never be sorry for furthering knowledge, friend.

1.) NINE YEARS that’s incredible!

2.) why is William Shatner still in the story though like now it’s a conspiracy

I find that starting with an apology makes people more receptive to corrections. I’m not really sorry for furthering knowledge, but the apology preface helps the knowledge go further.

But yeah, it is kind of crazy that it was still Shatner, but what’s most bizarre is that he let this common mistake persist for decades. I’m pretty sure I saw him talk about being the first interracial kiss at some convention or interview, and he never bothered to correct when they said it was in Star Trek. Most likely he simply forgot or never knew since it was a merely a clip of a play that was shown on Sullivan’s show.
