Today you read in the news that, together with a well-known judge, his driver and his body-guard were killed by a bomb. But will this precision be preserved over the next 100 years? And should it? Which part will be kept as essential?
Good points. Which is why history will always be controversial. My point was only to show that full-on relativism (or extreme relativism) is, perhaps, too pessimistic. Certainly, any analysis will be tainted with the editorial veiwpoint, but there is a distinction between analysis, and fact. (Yes? No? Maybe?)
