Annorax is similar sounding to a UK slang pejorative term that describes people obsessed in niche items that the general public may not be able to understand... like sci-fi fans...

Whether that's intentional or not for "Year of Hell", that reset button at the end - clever or otherwise - is still too tidy.
The writers were wordplaying off the character Arronax from 20,000 LEAGES UNDER THE SEA.
Great! I love "Living Witness"... I think of it as Voyager's Mirror Universe episode.
Nice find! Yes, that could definitely be it.
Thanks for the correction! (But I still think it's fun to think the wordplay was a possibility...
)
What if the Doctor in Living Witness was actually shifted to the MU, and the original historical record was right?
I preferred VOY doing a variation of the theme instead of "Hey folks, we're doing the mirror shtick too!" Or avoiding it the way TNG had. DSC had a more interesting take on the MU than DS9 had... But all that aside, putting aside also the fairly reasonable statement that historians will look back and not understand 100% the artifacts, why they're made, and so on, for quite a few fun reasons, the notion that historians could be 100% accurate would be... interesting. But the investigation of mis-perception is far more fascinating, IMHO. But what could really be done with "Oh dear, they were 100% correct?" (now remember Picard's maudlin speech about how history is often rewritten by the victors", etc, etc... )
