In the story they’re gatekeeping, Napoleon was the bad guy. They were the good guys.

They need to at least maintain plausible deniability that this was the case. 15 totally congruent memoirs about Napoleon read in a row leave no room for plausible deniability. The truth will just be too clear and they can’t pull their chestnuts out about the truth being relative. All their: “What is the truth? You have your truth. I have my truth” games.
