Passage Summary: You used to need to know old languages to read old papers. But since most of those papers are now translated, people who want to be historians don't need to learn those old languages anymore.

Conclusion: Aspiring ancient-history scholars no longer need to invest time in learning ancient languages.

Reasoning: While ancient languages are required to read original documents, most of these documents have already been translated into modern languages for research purposes.

Analysis: The argument suffers from a classic 'most vs. all' flaw. Just because most documents are translated doesn't mean a serious scholar won't encounter a crucial, untranslated text necessary for their specific research. Look for an answer that highlights the risk of ignoring the minority of documents that remain in their original tongue. It assumes that 'good enough for most' is 'good enough for everyone,' which is a dangerous bet in academia.
