Listen, you nasty little fucker, the song is neither corroborated nor 
contradicted by history, so how the hell can it be "baldly inaccurate, 
historywise"?  History does not say anything at all about the song.

You showed nothing but a lack of written documentation, and some scanty 
documentation of what might well have been a completely different 
incident.

There are no "historical errors" to note.  Do not call me a liar; you did 
indeed try to pass off a lack of evidence as contradictory evidence, and 
you are still doing so.

Asshole.  You said exactly what you said.
