I did NOT fail history in this instance...

You wrote: Bjarni Herjolfsson was the first European known to have
discovered America.

My response was an almost verbatim quote from Wikipedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson

Leif Erikson was an Icelandic explorer and the first known European
to have discovered North America, before Christopher Columbus.
(Born circa 970 – Died circa 1020) His father was Erik the Red.

Perhaps you should inform Wikipedia that they've failed history.
