Certainly no historian would criticise your own personal make-up as being unhistorical. How we 'see' the past inevitably has reflections of modern styles, and that doesn't become obvious until the next generation of historians/re-enacters/enthusiasts reassess the previous generations visual perception of history. And of course you're far too ladylike to tell them exactly what they can do with their ill-informed, un-researched and inaccurate comment. A great talk by Laura, I'd heard some of it before from other sources, but this was the best comprehensive overview in such a short time.
