The literary vraisemblance is quite in another league from historical fact.
Creative writers have the rights to fabricate, if in a intellectual and senseful way.
Many people, many highly educated people, many creative literary people do not perceive Dan Brown's transgressions to be ambiguous the way you suggest they might be.

And I will certainly not engage in a discussion that begins with "What is real? What is the fact?" If our fundamental perceptions of the basic fabric of reality are not aligned, we can already be fairly certain we will disagree no matter how long the discussion grows.
