So let me get this straight, you think the field of history fails to consider that people can make up bullshit?
We know from history that historians have believed bullshit history. There is no reason to assume that's changed.
The work historians do is ceases to be science the moment they start filling in the blanks.
Bro what do you think science is? You interpolate, then seek evidence that your interpolation was bad, and if you can’t find such evidence then you accept your interpolation as good.
