So, it presents facts...but the use of those facts requires more input, judgement, descrimination, etc. For instance the poem itself doest't contrast an alternative history...it's just a fact for the sake of a fact that Wolfe liked poetry. But it's true that is was 'creative', ie whole post, mine and Eric's was a reference to the King's joke during his visit to the US.
