This has always been understood.

Except when people claim that the VMS has "period appropriate" ink, which is technically true, it can end up being slightly misleading.

As a non-expert, hearing that term makes me think "appropriate to the 15th century specifically", not "appropriate to every century" or "appropriate to every century before the 20th". Maybe experts in this field have always known this, but I definitely didn't, and i'm sure many others don't either. 

In that sense, calling the ink period appropriate is meaningless. We should be calling it "not inappropriate", which sounds like hair splitting, but really has different implications in discourse and debate on the subject.
