A historian is concerned with both the accuracy of the data as well as the interpretation of it. Accurate data is important for historians so that they can construct history and a narrative of events that is based on accurate facts. But the interpretation is also important because historians must process and interpret the information which they have gathered to construct a historical narrative. Therefore I believe the answer is false.
