No blog, http://www.portugalremix.net/, lê-se como afirmou em 2003 o historiador James McPherson, vencedor do Prémio Pulitzer:
"...revision is the lifeblood of historical scholarship. History is a continuing dialogue between the present and the past. Interpretations of the past are subject to change in response to new evidence, new questions asked of the evidence, new perspectives gained by the passage of time. There is no single, eternal, and immutable "truth" about past events and their meaning. The unending quest of historians for understanding the past—that is, "revisionism"—is what makes history vital and meaningful."
