I also wanted to say that, like, this is definitely the downside of--I don't know. Getting noticed, getting put into any sort of history. There's just a feeling that WHATEVER it says is bound to be, if not actually wrong, surely reductive. I think any history, any summary, any analysis IS reductive by definition, but the only other options are like, a) recording a whole life second by second, which makes it too long for anyone to engage with or b) not being recorded at all. It's definitely something that's bugged me both as a historian and as someone whose work is written about. I don't know that I have a good answer.
...And as I was writing this, I do see that Klia above has a good answer: writing a comment explaining why. That reminds me of something else: if you hate labels you should say so on your user page and then drop a link on your official page linking to it, something like, "Gwyn's preferences are here." You can't force people to adopt or obey them, but at least people have the information about your preferences. :D
