The bible stories and single jewish folktale I'd heard with them in it didn't reference them as being the Fallen themselves. The representation as it was presented isn't that relevant to me anyway, I was just bothered by it in that itchy-minded mythology pedant way that I still get sometimes.
When there's conflicting views of the thing being spoken of, I like to have the controversy named so that the red flags for information accuracy don't start taking up my attention. If there's already a debate and the speaker says so, I don't have to take a side. If there's not a debate or the debate is ignored or glossed over I have to decide whether to start the debate and spend my and other people's time on it, or just have my brain itch. Ignoring it is sadly not an option. Once I've noticed it, it irritates me and keeps coming back. One day maybe I'll figure out why that is.
