I am of the opinion that no one owns a fact. A fact stands on its own.

“no one is professionally accountable for any errors of fact or 
interpretation.”

“or interpretation.” I am the opinion that therein lies the great “wrestle” 
in using resources and engaging in the exchanges on this site. I am of the 
opinion that except in language usage (literally), black and white “errors” 
are the exception not the rule - and the debate or the exploration of our 
perception of subjects of Virginia history is largely “unbounded”. And 
strongly argued as it should be.

No one owns a fact. A fact stands on its own. (Literally).
