I like history because it supplies lots of counter-examples. You sometimes see people say silly things in discussions that they wouldn't say if they knew their history.
(For example, on lukeprog's blog, I saw a commenter say that he didn't know of anyone shedding blood in the name of the Buddha, as compared to Mohammed or Jesus. Sure, as far as he knew...)
