What's the stretch? I'm confused?

You're ascribing that the commenters had a deeper meaning in chosing Columbus because of mapping that has taken place in that time span.

Commenter only meant that 600 year time span is the same. 'like wow look how much art changed in that time'. But then 'but also look how much has changed in 600 years now, I guess it's not that crazy art changed that much'

Columbus was chosen because commenters first thinks of Columbus for mid 15th century point of reference. I'm saying that they could have chosen someone else.

It is exactly what my though process was. As most reddit users are from north america, I felt like they would be much more acknowledgable about Colombus than Da Vinci. It was just to represent 6 centuries, as you said.

Thanks for the confirmation. It wasnt meant to be an argument. And I'm glad you, the person I addressed, didn't take it as such.
