On the Other Hand....

Don't we "embellish" the history of our heroes, only to have that false image later smashed by some iconoclast?

For instance...

George Washington was a great leader, both political and military. However, he never threw a dollar over a river, never chopped down that infamous cherry tree, etc. And, in fact, he did have his human failings, such as being a slave holder (morally debatable even in his day), etc.

Do we do our heros any "favors" (or promote our cause) when we put them on a pedestal with false stories, burying any contrary evidence, just so we feel "inspired"?
