    Yes, but not necessarily maliciously. No one person, no matter how good they are at being objective, can possibly see and hear and experience everything. Most of what historians wrote down would have been second or third hand information at best.

    I usually assume that there’s a lot of telephone-game style information passing built into any written record.
