    So you’re saying, if you declare something to be fake (‘fan-fiction’), and then there’s evidence (‘receipts’) that it’s true, the evidence becomes ‘worthless’?

    Hmmm…

      Being critical of sources is paramount in historical research 🤷

        But you’re not being critical if you aren’t giving any actual criticisms. You can’t just declare stuff you have to back it up.
