On a related note:

    It would be the height of arrogance for historians to condemn those who made history for not having availed themselves of histories yet to be written, Nightmares always seem real at the time--even if, in the light of day, a little bit ridiculous.

-John Lewis Gaddis (qtd. in When the Facts Change by Tony Judt)
