I hear you but my choice of example was motivated by the fact that most folks' historical frame of reference to anything of importance is WW2. It's an era of familiarity and that one is able to properly fact check in real time, especially as a truth seeker. The problems with the example that you highlighted are indeed real, but in this instance my use of this example was so narrow that it makes the point without setting off any landmines

haha, did claude use the expression "landmines"? i know he did in responses that i had around the subject. it's a tight expression, but in my opinion, claude's default way of writing is too much baptist preacher and not enough socrates, trying to hit the target from 20 different directions repeatedly doesn't really do the job unless you are already over the line on the point, and then you stop half way and think "hmm maybe i need to tell claude to write less paragraphs".
