what histories show is what the judgments of the people who gather, organize and interpret information about the past.

I am sorry, but if you don't think knowledge of the past is real, "shows" us, gives us an opportunity not to repeat errors, I don't know what to say. I study history, I try to understand it, I try to learn from it, I try to apply the lessons from history. If I am unique in that regard, the so be it.
