Point of view terms used in the Scott article In the modern reaction it is said Scott s reputation survived the period after World War II beyond the 50th anniversary of his death This is rather obvious Point of view terminology Saying something has survived only until a certain point in time basically means it s dead Captain Scott s reputation is far from dead so this is not a true representation of reality A correct encyclopedic term would be Scott s high reputation remained uncontested until the period after World War II beyond the 50th anniversary of his death Another problem is that it is spoken of a timeframe beyond World War II but the first book that is mentioned offering criticism in the next sentence is from 1966 Here we have a difference of more than 20 years that are claimed to belong to the time that Scott s high reputation had been contested while in reality they belong to the uncontested period Consequently this is another passage that needs further rectifying clarfification
