The argument that Fire & Blood is a history book that's completely unreliable kinda falls apart when you remember it's a fictional book meant to tell a fictional story, and stories have a theme. They have a why. And if you think the moral of the story is "if only they had let that one woman be the exception" or even "if westeros would also accept women as rulers by right be it of conquest or divine" then you're not engaging with the very prevalent anti monarchy sentiment of GRRM's work, and though that's not a crime, taking the author to the back and shooting him dead is still not a faithful way of adapting and consuming his intellectual property. At one point you have to consider authorial intent. It's why the characters you're entertained by exist after all.
