They're not! But now I'm proud of myself, for lo, this happened:
I was finishing a book on the battle of Malplaquet yesterday, published in 2020, and it cited the Ligne memoirs of Eugene. I was very surprised, I turned up the memoirs on Google books, read the first couple pages, and went, "This seems fake."
Ha! Thank you for googling this from a scholarly angle and confirming.
Ever since we got burned by Austrian Trenck's not being by Austrian Trenck (per Stollberg-Rilinger), I've been on the alert.
