 Hectorian, I believe that because that the words "educated Persian" 
 in quotes implies that the writer was being sarcastic....that he/she  
 does not believe that the Persian was an educated person. 

 If the manuscript does indeed indicated that the Persian was 
 educated, then fine. But the quotes need to go. I believe that 
 that this is a necessary change to keep this article objective. 

 If you disagree with my opinion, think of it from this angle. 
 I read this and immediately deem it to be bias. I would think it  
 impossible to believe that I’m the only one to believe this, even 
 though it may in fact not be bias. However, being that some 
 may agree or disagree with either or us is grounds in itself to 
 remove the quotes in order to avoid any appearance of bias. 
 It’s the safe road to travel. 

 Sincerely and respectfully, Sideshow Todd
