When a friend forwarded this I assumed it was going to be a
depressing read, filled with useful gems which had been lost due
to the cruel symbiosis between processmongering and deletionism,
but you know, in these 20 cases at least, I think we got it right.
Actually, there is one in there that strikes me as valid: the shield-mate one. I know
I've read about the idea before in multiple contexts, and there's the obvious
historical example of the Sacred Band. I don't know if it's *correct*, and it
looks like no one has ventured into academia for some sources so deletion is likely, but
that's far from a clear case.
