    Why Game of Thrones is less realistic than you think

    Despite the comparisons to medieval history, Game of Thrones is less realistic than you think.

    I doubt anyone thinks it is realistically trying to portray any specific time period. It is a gritty fantasy.

    Anyway. As the links in the article show, most of GoT is based on real events but just because it is "based" doesn't mean it is true.

    ("based" == true) = true
    but
    ("based" === true) != true *

    It's a bit like people believing that the names in Fargo has really been changed at the request of the survivors.

    The first expression won't work. You can't use the left-hand side of an assignment as a boolean expression. In JavaScript "based" == true will probably evaluate to false as the value comparison isn't the same (as opposed to "true" == true), but both ( "based" ) and (true) will evaluate to true individually. So ("based" == true) == false.

    The last expression will evaluate to true, as the type and value comparison of ("based" === true) == false, which is the same as != true. So the whole expression evaluates to "true".

    I mean the dragons died out right around the time King Arthur got the sword out of the lake right?

    Lets not forget giving birth to shadow assassins...and resurrecting folks...and corpses that get blue eyes and start hating people.

    This show is 100% based on real life events!
