Industries often "move past" people who try to protect the standards those industries should be holding themselves to. This is usually not a great thing.
The music industry "moved past" a lossless format as the dominant consumer sales paradigm. Does this mean that lossless formats are suddenly no longer better than lossy formats for the accurate delivery of the content or that industry experts who advise of such are simply outmoded in their thinking?

There's your issue, right there... "too" faithful. So, for you, the line is between *some revisionism* and *more revisionism than I find tasteful*. For Robert Harris, the line is between *no revisionism* (or, more accurately, *as little revisionism as possible*) and *some revisionism*. I happen to agree with him. You can call us dinosaurs if you want, but please don't pretend that your thinking is coming from any other place than that you think some revisionism is preferable. You're casting that as more "modern" thinking; I'm casting it as more "inaccurate" thinking.
