No, the topic was presidential college admissions. This one, because it was JFK, was historical. It also was political, because we were talking about a politician, a fact that does not change whether it was a current or past politician.

And your analogy is wrong too: It is like saying here is code from CP/M, and someone saying "how do modern OSes handle that feature?". That question is not advocacy for new OSes, it is a question of comparison between eras.
