That is an interesting point I've never really thought of even though I've heard "history is written by the victors" so many times.
Given that it is unlikely that we will have complete access to audiovisual "360° 30K video with megagamut" and even if we did, we likely wouldn't have the ability to sift through all of it efficiently, I have a feeling that history wouldn't change much.
Machine learning (deep fakes et. al) is another arms race that might come in to play as well. If we extrapolate from today, I'd say it is likely that I'd probably yell "fake" or at least claim that the video lacks "context" even if I saw something in "360° 30K video with megagamut" video if it doesn't align with what I already believe in...

There are a lot of people; watching videos is a very parallelizable process.
