I think you are being disingenious. What Satoh actually says is
"This is all my imagination and conjecture, based on the few documents
concerning De Visee's life".
How is the reader supposed to know what is based on these few documents and
what is idle fantasy?
Why suggest that De Visee was born in Portugal if none of the surviving
documents mention this. Why not Timbuctoo?
And he hasn't even reproduced the facts from the surviving documents
accurately.

His own words leave no doubt and are far from misleading:
"This is all my imagination and conjecture [...] it was this
imagination that drove me to perform the pieces ..."
In other words, the story in the CD-booklet is about motivation, not
about historical facts."
