"...history would be rewritten many times over."

Everyone seems to have the congealed fist of righteous in the air, whether with true facts, assertions, archival research, or falsehoods while the lips of truth and historical overview make no ultimate claim yet. Sadly there is the danger among the self-righteous to loving justice as a gambler loves his or her game -- believing, among other things, one can receive "winning facts" without the blemish of still more ignorance. Simply pathetic, but part of our human folly.
