I find it so poetic that Jasnah, being a veristitalian she strives for unbiased and factual "reconstructions" of past historical events in order to understand the present and be prepared for the future.
But you cant have unbiased accounts of history at least not completely. Because we as human beings cannot help but be biased. And I find it is so fitting for her character to try to remove this vital human aspect from history in the name of the greater good.
While Hoid, on the other hand, has spent the past ten thousand years spreading stories all across the universe, and all stories are, at their core, just really biased accounts of real historical events.
Hoid, unlike Jasnah, doesn't try to remove those vital human aspects of history but in fact adds to them so that the people of the present can learn from the mistakes of the past and build towards a better future.
They're doing the same exact thing but approaching it in such vastly different angels and It informs us so much about both of their respective characters and how they view the world. They're both such perfect foils of each other not just in this particular instance but in so many other facets too that it genuinely makes me want to go insane.
