I think it's not so much lack of confidence in CA as a realization that CA's market is broader than just us history nerds.

Just a realistic way of looking at what we want and what we can expect. I'm hoping for (and reasonably confident of) getting a great game from CA. However there are probably going to be little things that bug me about its historical accuracy, as there are in just about any 'historical' movie, game, etc. I don't know why historical accuracy doesn't sell to a mainstream audience, because it seems so much cooler than fiction to me, but I realize I'm not representative of your average entertainment consumer. It's nice to know I can rely on others who share my eccentricities to help with this, though. Thanks MTR!
