You mix it with theological one sometimes.
To be good historian you need to be analytical and psychologist and have some good knowledge of the period in time and its mentality.
Then you make educated guesses(like in archaeology) when no concrete evidence exists-which is the fun part and problematic one also bias prone.
Some so called facts can be interpreted differently and given different wight therefore outcome can vary.
The question then is if those so called interpretation are within the established academic norm that also may vary in between between different institutions in some cases.
