But there were many books written about the 19th century lime and cement
industry in the US. I personally have over 50. So are you saying that if we
don't bother to research the facts reality becomes whatever we perceive it
to be, or in other words we can make it up as we go along?
We know the bear shits in the woods but we don't know how much shit unless
we follow the bear.

Ken,
That is a somewhat faulty argument seeing as Americans have always been
a bit backwards when it comes to reading or writing books. The fact that
there is or is not a paper trail does not condition reality, only our
perception of it. You may almost as well ask give me one book not
written in Europe about trees being a major player in the US. If nobody
wrote a book about it does a bear shit in the woods? ;-)
As to the subject of the argument at hand I have no opinion.
