importance of this dispute i think that when you have a subject as ideologically charged as this one where the accusations and counter accusations are equally the product of political sympathies and ideological proclivities the contestation of fact itself becomes more significant and relevant then the normative preference i e an imaginary idea of a clear defined and uncontested truth not to suggest at all that all claims are thus equally valid but even if some of the claims have been manipulated to suit a particular agenda it is better that they lie ugly contested unsubstantiated and disempowered it is a better reflection of the nature of this topic in my mind it is irresponsible to try and figure out a depoliticized version of this issue as wikipedia editors are often compelled to do preceding unsigned comment added by
