"What is the past except a construction created by the present?"

That confuses and too closely equates the reality of what happened with 
reports and comments of that reality. Events acutally occurred and they occur 
very specifically. Our representations of those events may or may not 
(sliding scale of accuracy) accurately observe, reflect, report, and evaluate 
those events.
