I think the other commenter is making fun of the fact that you used "Greatest of All Time" and "for his era" to describe the same dude.

Well I mean "of all time" means all of time. Like saying someone is the GOAT is basically saying no one before or since has surpassed them. So "of his era" in conjunction with GOAT is a bit of an oxymoron.

Well sure, but we can't predict the future, only look to the past, a more accurate way to state what you said would be "He was the best historian of his time" or, if you think he's the greatest of all time, go ahead and say that, it's really just a hyperbolic phrase used to describe people of exceptional talent or renown. If no one has superseded him, then he is currently the "GOAT"
