I'd like to see an actual survey with historians voting whether they oppose this or not. I just can't believe the headline.


"historians" just means "at least 2 of them".


And even those 2 don't have any real arguments, just opinions. They really sound like they're trying to say something profound while they stroke their chin.

"Colourisation does not bring us closer to the past; it increases the gap between now and then. It does not enable immediacy; it creates difference."

It's just an opinion. I can say the complete opposite and the opinion sounds just as valid:

"Colourisation brings us closer to the past; it decreases the gap between now and then. It enables immediacy; it removes differences."
