Oops. Sorry. I accidentally voted under Pellinor's login. This probably counts as electoral fraud and should be punishable by ten years in prison, sharing a cell with someone who has been told by the pixies that Stonehenge is a prehistoric hypermarket.
I only ticked "other" because I'm too much of a fence-sitting historian to ever make any conclusive statements about anything in the past; the best I ever managed in any history essay was to vaguely say that the true answer might possibly have been A, but B has its merits, too, and C isn't half bad, either, although D is probably an idea only held by crackpots, but we'll probably never know.
*pauses to double-check login; the laptop's heart has been given to Pellinor, since it reverts back to his login at the slightest provocation. This, of course, has nothing whatsover to do with the default setting that I myself set up on the Firefox LJ login manager extension, no, nothing at all.*
I should add that I think there a few million other things in history that are actually more interesting than either. :-)
If I could, I'd vote for not a fake, just something which is popularly regarded as being something it was originally meant to be. The sense in which a postcard of The Ambassadors bought from the National Gallery is not a fake Rembrandt, I mean.
