"::: You made a logic fallacy - you mixed the era of the speakers and readers, and the era of the object being described. For example, when we talk about the Roman Empire, we can't let'' the Roman Empire be contemporary, instead, we have to find how contemporary people''' describe the Roman Empire. For the same reason, we cannot let the ROC be contemporary (its duration is 1912~2012, not 1949~2012), instead, we investigate how contemporary people describe it. Do you agree with this? ––
