I firmly believe such battles create discord in all the histories written about them. I do not feel its wise to say anything is 'set in stone'. We simply do not have all the facts. Everyone writes with their own agenda about battles, participants included. This is a fact of life, just like in witness statements about crime. I don't necessarily think people deliberately aim to mislead - they just put down what they think they remember.

I think anyone who says they totally understand everything about a battle from even recent history is on very shaky ground!
