You can really say this about anything. Not that I am disagreeing with you, but it’s a dubious way to frame anything you wish to state.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoSure, I agree it isn't very specific, but I wasn't trying to make a general claim, just provide a hopefully recognizable example of revisionist history. I think it would be different if I was claiming that most people believe this narrative, or something like that. I could have pointed to some specific academics who feel this way, but I'm not sure that is any more convincing. Basically any example can be ignored with a no true scottsman argument if someone is obstinate instead of curious.
