History is true, but the history anyone knows is selective, a mental model, often guessed or interpreted, and usually secondhand information.

The worst historical accounts, if lookrd at without context, are first hand ones... Those are the most selective and subjective takes you can have.

Which is why nobody considers it good practice to do anything with a SINGLE first hand source.

Thermodynamics is true, everything else is an interpretation.

Is "the reality anyone knows" not also part of greater aggregate reality though (conflicting with reality is true), or is it an ontological component of something else?
