Here's something to consider: what would people 500 years from now, or 1,000 years, think of us? Without strong evidence, their judgements about our actions could become pretty skewed, based on their prevalent way of thinking.
Heck, even we do this today, trying to make sense of historical events based on little evidence and facts. Journalists, documentarians and et al, all have a responsibility to document things as they happen in an objective light. We try to preserve the cold hard facts so that these same facts can stand up to the test of time.
