Because what Elon and many others, including much smarter people than him, mean *is* a myth. „Historically accurate“ is for them what the French historian Pierre Nora called a „roman national“, a coherent identitarian narrative of the nation - in their case of „Western“ (white) „civilization“

»Weltrekord für die meisten durch Kinder zwischen 5 und 15 geformten Knödel«, das erinnert mich sehr an den »größten zweischiffigen mittelalterlichen Profanraum nördlich der Alpen« in Marburg – wenn man präzise genug ist, ist alles ein Weltrekord

Analysis. Analysis in academic robotexts tends towards bullet point-like lists that, it is claimed, constitute a novel conceptual framework, often named with an acronym, though it's rarely clear why any readers should care. Everything is numbered as if accumulation matters over analysis itself. 6/

Lit review. You don’t really get a proper lit review but long lists of various conceptual approaches and literatures thrown together in a way that is supposed, I guess, to appear impressive. Often a paragraph with loads of references to the journal editors presumably to appease the desk reviewer! 4/

This pup was absolutely not digging in the dirt. Everybody knows that would require a permit. Thinks you have a whole lot of nerve accusing him of breaking municipal laws with no evidence. 12/10 (IG: san_francisco_rott)

a tiny rottweiler puppy sits on a gravel path. he looks up at the camera with red dirt all over his snoot and forehead. we can understand how one could mistake this to mean he was digging a hole, but there aren't even any holes in sight. there is only a black long-haired dachshund sniffing around behind the small puppy. clearly this is an innocent little guy who did absolutely no wrongdoing.
