a historian looks up for resources to write a detailed analysis on various things, whether it be kingdoms or humans of some Era.
a historian needs proofs to tell the other people of his time about the past.

that's why a historian doesn't make long speeches or determines if this would have happened in the past, instead he collects all sorts of information and then write books or claims facts upon it.
