>science... is based on facts that can’t be denied indefinitely This could apply to physics, but history (another kind of "truth") can still be written by the victors even in the long-term. Look at Carthage, etc. The old joke is that "all science disciplines are either physics or stamp collecting." The physics can always be re-discovered per Aaronson, but stamps (or entire civilizations) can be destroyed, leading to some parts of historical knowledge being lost irrevocably.
