It's simply one of the facts of history that was distorted over the ages. I think it's better to put it that way. Just because things change doesn't mean its suddenly retconned. Just check itachi's account of the Mangekyou and the real history of Madara. Sometimes, the truth is more complex. Sometimes, other people misinterpreted what had happened.
