Among historians, "revisionism" is not a loaded word - it just means a challenge to the common theories about a time period. The term is tarnished outside the field because the most visible revisionists are simply denying well-documented historical facts for political reasons (e.g., the holocaust, the rape of Nanking, etc.)
