I'd struggle to enter it in as evidence for much of anything.
That's a little pedantic. Obviously it's biased, but it still presents one person's perspective of events faithfully, otherwise there'd be no point in it as a dramatic device. So no matter what, there's still something to be gleaned from the fundamentals.

You might as well use that argument to say there's no point in paying attention to Encyclopedia Eorzea's reckoning of the early eras either, since it's all presented as pseudo-in-universe inference.
