Nor are they inherently less accurate. The real question is what is one looking for from a biography? The truth? Hope ... peace of mind ... rationalization?
Humans are storytellers. All of us, whether telling the story of someone else or our own story, embellish, omit and obscure in favor of the dramatic. We can no more suppress such aspects of our nature than we can live without air.
