It's common in fictionalized accounts in art to see deviations from reality and I think that's ok. When Disney's Pocahontas came out there were complaints about its lack of accuracy, too. As one snarky radio commentator put it, "Yes, and the animals didn't sing and dance quite as much in real life, either." Logicomix is a comic book, after all, and not a historical treatise or a math book.
