The -record- is written by both sides. Then it is interpreted. Some interpretations have stronger bases in the record that others.

DiLorenzo's interpretation is poorly supported and presented with an agenda already in place. He has a poor interpretation.

If I were you, I'd decide on my own interpretation based on the what the people of the day said and did. That is what I do.
