You seem to have misconstrued my point.

The sum of a man is not a handful of primary sources. Unless we invent some form of time machine there isn't a way to accurately portray historical figures. Anything that does will be influenced and biased by the person who created it (and will most likely be done to push a narrative)

    And you seem to have misconstrued my point. We seem to be talking at odds without listening to each other, so it's probably a good idea just to end it. I could just paraphrase your statement but substitute books (or whatever). It's not the real thing, it's going through a human filter that is going to have influenced and be biased, so it doesn't matter. And things will never get good enough to prove me wrong. I'm done.
