You'd probably enjoy the company of my history teacher. He often laughs at popular beliefs over history and tells us how things supposedly really were, and he even corrects the books once in a while. He may be right, he may be wrong, but he follows the present society and history so tightly that I'd find it strange if he were wrong. He doesn't consider himself an expert, he's just doing his job, that's what makes him more believable than your generic "tight-capped scholar".
You'd probably enjoy his company, until he starts with the perverted comments.
