It's even more complicated /political than that .


Am not sure anyone here really thinks there would be a consensus amongst professionals in relation to what happened in history. What is of far more concern is the mismatch between what they discuss amongst themselves at conferences and in learned print that the public find inaccessible - and what the public think happened in the past. Being brought closer to the detail of the disagreement in question is highly encouraging in that respect.

Having attempted a serious point, I'll have a little lie down...



The problem is exacerbated by journalists failing to understand press releases or detail from phone calls then quoting stuff that was never said or that even contradicts the views of the interviewed .
