I both agree and disagree. While I do think historical accuracy shouldn't be completely forsaken just for the hell of it, I also think it's not something that should stand in the way of the creative process even a tiny bit. The story has to come first, always. If historical accuracy can be preserved I'd consider it a bonus.
