This problem more generally is a trap in many long debates in history that is easy for the newcomer to fall into without knowing - read one recent volume arguing very strongly (because it fits w/in a larger debate) but not knowing, accept it wrongly as the opinion of the field.https://twitter.com/MilHist_Lee/status/1302246975220350981 …

For the newcomer, the key is often separating out what is *known* from what is theorized - part of what all of these debates have in common is (very)educated guesswork in the 'blanks' of the source material.

Failing that (esp. in cases where assessing the blanks requires language skills), the best recourse is to ask a subject matter expert not 'what is true' (they'll make a case for their side), but 'what is the state of the debate' or 'what is the communis opinio?'
