Pretty astonishing. Indeed. Im not sure whether the author is merely flaunting his ignorance: "Fact: The photograph shows coal miners’ faces covered in soot. The context of the photograph is not the issue." or as I suspect, is being deliberately manipulative & disengenuous. That statement isn't a "fact" because the men's faces aren't covered in "soot" at all: soot was a material commonly used to blackup: available from any fire but usually made from burnt cork. The men are in fact covered in dust: coal dust.
