事后观察历史，有时甚至是反事实历史，通常根本不是历史，而是最常见的一场谦卑的一游戏游戏，其中活着的人在死者身上发挥了政治把戏，而死者并不是为了捍卫自己。
(Hindsight history, sometimes call counterfactual history, is usually not history at all, but most often a condescending game of oneupmanship in which the living play political tricks on the dead, who are not around to defend themselves.)
