Since attributions in arts, history, composition and many other
field are uncertain, doubtful, questioned, or contradicted
without an alternative at significant rates - in the
10% magnitude if you go back in time a bit - we ought to have
them.

Contradictions are indeed a new type of statement, because they
have to refer to the staements they disclaim.
