I didn’t mean to put words in your friend’s mouth.  I’m sure what he did, in reality, was probably pretty inoffensive>  It is the perception though that I would imagine creates the charge of making historical games inaccessible.  In these post-millennial days, some folks are very sensitive about perceived criticism, so even pointing out the historical inaccuracies of a particular favourite game, could easily be perceived as criticism and being looked down on.  Generally speaking its asking for trouble to offer even a justified critique if it hasn’t been asked for.
