Just what a ?carefully researched article? means I?m not sure; an
historian does exactly that or should. But if we historians are not
willing to stand-by our research & printed(electronic, oral &
otherwise) works then why do it in the first place! If I say this is
the evidence I have and did due diligence then I stand by what I have
done. If it is ?corrected? in the future then so be it. But let us not
avoid writing history ?at all costs? just because Will considers them
?the most dangerous words in historic research?. I?d rather have my
opinions out there then not! But so has he. A conundrum indeed.
This applies to the 30th ann. of the MacIntosh. We know its history
but not the underlying reason it was created as S. Jobs is no longer
here. I can surmise what was his intention but that's all. Does this
negate what I do? Hardly!
