Well, now that you unpack it I understand your point. I had a similar critique of Ricardos at the time.
But I don’t think I would name that for Sorkin, both because there were so many other, more serious problems with Ricardos, and because it’s one thing to have historically accurate characters have conversations that are noticeably anachronistic but still broadly consistent with their actual personas, and quite another to create new characters to create a completely new and false representation of history.
