I'm addressing your comment. I expect any mathematics or science a history book does have to be accurate, or I will conclude that it is badly edited or out-of-date. I don't expect a history book to be perfect of course, it's authors are only human; and I don't have to do any mental gymnastics to come up with an ad hoc explanation why the mistake doesn't count as a mistake.
