    There is a story in the Apocrypha, I am sure, where the child Jesus fed the birds.

    Anything is possible in a converging world, Dis-member.

    My perspective is: Does it distort what we can establish about the life and personality of the subject?

    As, I commented in my first post:

    Which question was meant to examine the difference between the use of information for propaganda purposes and what we may discern to be "truth."

    In the late 40s and early 50s PRC propaganda may have distorted the lives of Emperors, whatever Mao may have known from a historian's viewpoint.

    Mao's life has been distorted by Cold war propaganda in the west. What a struggle it is to achieve a perspective that is balanced.
