Why this is better
Fabricated historical claim: Captain James Cook did not bring coffee seeds to Hawaii from Brazil in 1778. There is no historical record of Cook introducing coffee to Hawaii. The real history is that coffee was first planted in Hawaii in 1813 by Spaniard Francisco de Paula y Marin, with the more successful introduction coming in 1825 when Chief Boki brought coffee cuttings from Brazil to Oahu.
