Marc,
That is simply hilarious! They may write it that way, but anyone over the age of gestation can find, read, watch, or listen, to all the information they can handle, courtesy of the internet. Japanese are world renown for their tendancy to travel (some even visited Hawaii, in December, 1941), and the world is full of reminders that disagree with the official writings.
I sort of recall Dad telling me Japanese had no word for Retreat. They considered it an 'Advance to the Rear'. That always cracked me up as well. Such an ego. Bushido indeed. More like Bullshido.
