I agree. What you have described is the reason that I kind of flinch at the knowledge that one day I will watch that "Australia" movie, which I expect to be loaded with just that kind of codswallop revisionism.

I find my sensitivity to this issue problematic because I do have a true* story or two that are begging to be told, and which I would like to flesh out in a semi-fictionalised way to assist dissemination... except that I do not feel that I have adequate 'ownership' of those events to entitle me to write about them.


*for a value of "true" equal to "story related to me as true by the local oral history repository as we drank our beer"
