Yup, I agree with that viewpoint for much of the time, and even mentioned it on the other recent thread where someone was asking about something supposedly off a SPAD.

An item might be fake, but if you liked it when you bought it, then there's no real reason start disliking it if it turns out to be a ringer. Sure, you could dislike having been conned, but you've still got a piece of canvas with a cross on it, which is no less than what you'd have it was from WW1.

Different story if it affects research of course, but there you go.
