Our history does matter - both the real history and the shared short hand fiction we agree on.

And there is always a fight to use evidence from the real history to influence that shared fiction - to say Hispanics fought at the Alamo, that millions were gassed by the Nazis and so on.

Fake paintings and fake art pose a threat to doing this right.

it's not immediate, it's not our most pressing problem, but it is a problem, and it does matter.
