You're not wrong, but the niece is only turning 6 or 7, so it's more just about piquing interest, not actual reference.

I mean I think it’s probably a great idea to give a kid correct information than to teach her the Czech Republic and Slovakia are one Soviet controlled country. Or not have any reference to 9/11. Or miss out on real fun facts like dinosaurs didn’t actually go full extinct and remain as birds and that dinosaurs has feathers and not leather skin. Sooooo I mean information is powerful.
