<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8081161, member: 19463&quot;]Great timing DR!&nbsp; I suppose we might be concerned that the line between truth and lies is getting harder and harder to distinguish but the fact remains that separating historical fiction from history has been hard for millennia. How many of us have coins that celebrate defeats that were called victories?&nbsp; How many theories in whatever field you have studied have reversed depending on who you have read in your lifetime?&nbsp; Low fat vs Keto?&nbsp; Hard toothbrushes or soft?&nbsp; There have always been books promoting stupidity.&nbsp; The difference now is people who are paid by the word no longer have to write.&nbsp; Who do you trust?&nbsp; Some of us make errors accidentally; others (then, now and tomorrow) know that if you tell a big enough lie, some of the people will believe it and others will think they are better off agreeing with you anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>History is less studying what actually happened than it is studying what people believed happened and/or convinced other people it was true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
