I can't agree with that, at least not in the works I've already cited.

Am not aware of the works you've cited, but I have read some organizational histories (outside the world of GLOs), where its clear to me that certain organizational issues were glossed over.

Heck, even in the area of scouting history you need to go to independent sources to get the real story. The BSA has for decades trotted out a story about their founding (one which I repeated myself) that I've learned only in recent years is probably either widely exagerated, or at worse wholy fictious.

Hence the need for a more independence in the area of historical reporting.
