If you want to learn history, you turn to witnesses, and dragons are long-living. If you're a wizard, you know draconic (because it's the language of magic) so you go and interview dragons, write history books in draconic (you don't target a mass market). A few decades later, they are picked up as curricular material by the court wizard who's in charge of teaching the scion of the house about the deed of the past to inspire him to emulate them. It's not that far-fetched to warrant rejection. I'd even say that the fact that Farmer picked up halfling doesn't mean anything about halflings and farming in general. "Like many farmers, you made frequent use of the agricultural almanachs producted by the greatest halfling farmers." It just means that some of the greatest halfings farmers (which doesn't imply halflings are generally better at farming, nor than any other races can't have superior farmers) wrote agricultural almanachs that were a library success among farmers in your area and that you DECIDED to pick up halfling as a foreign language because you liked the idea of reading them in their original language. The regular farmer doesn't get the background benefits of being a hero, so he probably just read the translated version and never picked halfling anyway.</blockquote>
