      Which I think is a fairly widespread perception and not something shamefully ignorant to think. Most of the time you don't have to consider it, right? We hear occasional big things when a book is exposed as a hoax. But most aren't.

    Obviously non-fiction as a whole is wildly complicated, but if you go into a history section and pick up a history of like... Seattle Dockworkers, you expect most of it to be true or at least true recountings of stories.
