Somewhat a non-sequitur. It remains that, if history books tell a lie, some will use it as an excuse to claim other things are lies. It is somewhat like suggesting that, because NG doesn't do something, therefore nobody will. Unfortunately, many people will fall for such things.

Hello Q,

You do have a point. So many things these days, particularly political messages, are couched in complex 'not' cases and most people don't seem to realise that the headline is often in conflict to what the content actually says and means.
