I believe society should strive to be historically accurate, even if it means admitting mistakes done. Going forward, please learn from mistakes and make things better.
At the current rate we are going things are going to get worse (swings too far) before it gets better.
(*) to clarify: not the current meme for what is now, but how history is inaccurately perceived at times.

I know. And I don't disagree.
I was pointing out that in today's absolutist environment it is a thankless fruitless thing to even try.
All scanners are on alert for even the slightest hint of deviation from orthodoxy.
There is no interest in making society better or "historical" narratives more accurate. In "post-modernist" history tbere is no such thing as objective reality, just warring subjectivities each serving a different political goal:

Quote:
Postmodernism, also spelled post-modernism, in Western philosophy, is a late 20th-century movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power.

Your position is much too reasonable to pass muster in today's environment.
Lazy attempts to conform or to exploit the new orthodoxy are more likely to result in catfights like the DIRT mess or the cluelessly misguided FRANKENSTEIN cover.
Things "will* get a lot worse before the pendulum swings back, most likely when the full Seldon Crisis explodes.
