I fear I have to disagree with you, guest....

both science and history require research and objectivity... neither is made up from imagination or wishful, when done properly... and that is my point.   

as for history... you go to original sources that are much easier to find for recent past, which is what I am referring to. There are very few survivors of Pearl Harbor or the Holocaust still alive today. but there is archival material of many kinds still extant. So what is keeping the average Japanese of today ignorant of their recent history? We have enough apologists and revisionists (and just plain lazy researchers) around already, we need critical thinkers in their stead. Just because it's not easy does not mean impossible, just difficult.
