Hi, I agree with much of your first point. I think we simply have to take it on a case by case basis.
Tranter, to answer the second point, is much more accurate. He was a fiction writer but also a historian. Braveheart is great entertainment, but utter tosh historically. It gets a few basic things right, but a lot wrong or invented.
I do think that it’s a bigger problem in Not So Great Britain. The Labor Party is even more radicalized than its American counterpart.
I have to say that the Aramaic spoken in Passion was pretty good, though. Can’t vouch for the Latin, since I haven’t yet studied.
