It would be nice if there was "One True View" of History but
  there's not. That's what makes it so fascinating.

  But, like the Byzantines so guarding the status quo, we too in
  the 21st century have our OWN Status Quo; our own received
  historical accounts.

  Challenging received assumptions doesn't hurt it if done right.
  It should make the ongoing "fillings in" of history more and
  more rich.   a quick search I _just did_ for "Byzantine Science"
  showed that someone else did my legwork for me. I could've saved
  all this writing. And to think, I thought I had something novel
  to present smile emoticon
