Huh, I was expecting a discussion of a language problem about how you take historical texts from the early days and add punctuation to it. I know things can be "period"-ized different ways because I've read Bibles where the there's new verse numbers starting in the middle of a sentence.
Dividing history into epochs seems like a much more intractable problem, because the future was already then, it was just unevenly distributed. Taking the names to be more meaningful than conventions is a little silly.
