As a matter of fact, that's exactly the explanation that the NASM
director gave when people criticized him for not detailing the damage
that Little Boy did to Hiroshima.

In fairness to NASM, that's pretty much what they do with all their
aircraft. And it's probably more true at Udvar-Hazy than at the big
museum on the Mall. That's what I appreciated most about the new
annex: there's no Walt Disney "interpretation". If the kids aren't
happy looking at airplanes, they can go to the Imax.
