Passage Summary: Some scholars say Shakespeare's play is historically wrong, but the author argues that doesn't matter because the play is a great work of art on its own merits.

Conclusion: Historical inaccuracy is irrelevant to the appreciation of Shakespeare's Richard III.

Reasoning: The play is aesthetically and morally fascinating regardless of whether it aligns with historical facts.

Analysis: The argument relies on a value judgment that prioritizes internal artistic quality over external factual accuracy. To justify this reasoning, we need a principle that explicitly states that a work's value is independent of its historical truth. You are looking for a 'bridge' that connects the premise (the work is fascinating) to the conclusion (historical accuracy is irrelevant). The correct principle will likely suggest that the merits of a drama should be judged solely on its artistic or moral impact rather than its adherence to history.
