Those apologetic efforts always fall flat it seems because the justifications always make it clear that the rot is far deeper. "He wasn't facing torture for pursuit if the truth but for undermining their power and authority" is an even worse look than being deluded fundamentalists. Nothing of their intentions changes the outcome that came from their actions which they are fully responsible for. Whether Archimedes was stabbed for being impertinent, rage of the invaders at his years of countersiege engines, or even if he starved to death in the siegr his death was still a great loss regardless of why or how and Rome was fundamentally alsays responsible! There can be no reason which results from such exercises as apologism ammounts to justifying travesties to assuage their own cognitive dissonance and deserver bad reputations. It fundamentally a perpetuation of the evils of the past through rationalization.
