> but any story about the origin of the bricks should... I see where you're coming from, but in this case the origin is there only to frame what the article is really about: the engineering challenge for the future of the bricks. Going into the whitewashed origins of the Lego concept would distract from what the article is about.

I disagree with that. Every time the whitewashed story is repeated the real one is forgotten a little bit more. The article is about Lego bricks, tries to use the brick and its history to frame the story, if you're going to do that I think it should be historically accurate. That would not distract from what the article is about at all, and if it was a distraction then so is the story the way it is written right now, they could have simply omitted that part.
