GoOD example in the 80's I pick up a book on Bluebeard. Not black beard the pirate but the guy who was seed for bluebeard fable blood on black key story.The book was interesting so I decide to do an article on him. So I found other books mentioning him. He was Joan of Arc general. After she left the scene he ran rough shot over the local clergy and merchants, and was into alchemy and black arts.Thing is even all the books before the 1980 use the same documents as the 1980 one. NONE of the books before 1980 one mention he was a child molester and child murder or mention he killed about 200 kids. Some authors were restricited by the time frame in which they published. Look at Podkayne of Mars by RAH. Originally he killed her off. But 1962 it wasn't going to fly so he rewrote so she lived. Wasn't after he died and it was the 1990's was the book republish with his first ending.</blockquote>
