@borzoi > wars are better documentedSorry, I'm only just now listening to the 3R episode since @Yurt_Dweller linked it.That's not entirely true. The Mandela affect is huge with historical documentation. There was a case of a french general in WW1 who submitted the paperwork for an after-action report of a battle in southern France with Austrian/Italian forces, including citations, casualty reports, supply consumption, etc. Awards were given. Letters were sent.It never happened.amazon.com/Why-Dont-We-Learn-History/dp/0985081139

@Yurt_Dweller @borzoi That's an egregious - and very French - example, but the point stands.Granted, I also object to the modernist conceit that there is a detached material objective reality "behind" the stuff.

@loghdub @borzoi I'm not saying there isn't plenty of wrong, misleading, or fraudulent information surrounding battles - I just think its a more well documented phenomenon than others in general, and therefore more reliable

@Yurt_Dweller @borzoi I'm skeptical. I would agree that the quantity and detail of documentation is of a higher degree. I'm not so sure about the true accuracy of said detail and documentation.

@loghdub @borzoi Even if I grant you that point, we can generally assume a battle actually did happen

@Yurt_Dweller @borzoi @LarryRidgeway And to beat Sven's vacation and mic-sending trope, every time we have a formal local meetup, a famous and powerful jew has died.

@Free_Idealist @Yurt_Dweller @borzoi No, because even the story I just told is false. I misremembered the far less incriminating and hilarious story actually told in "Why Don't We Learn from History" by BH Littel Hart and I found the metamandela so funny I continue to engage it.
