So how many total eclipses has the great expert experienced directly? (You know, without some sort of camera between you and the sun.)

I’ve looked straight at 2. Not for long, but looked at them. They’re cool.

And really one just needs to bother to check the fables to know 3 things about primitive man and eclipses:
1 - they clearly DID notice the sun getting dimmer
2 - they looked
and 3 - they were scared

Sorry but your whole jaded pose is a modern man not bothering to understand that things were different.
