Overall it doesn’t matter much which honorary titles different things hold. But if we only discussed things that really mattered, this place would be very boring.
I agree with all you're saying here. I'm just saying that the known history is enough to be amazing on its own, while the embellishment that movies, tv, art and fiction have brought to it all just makes the genre more fun. When I use the term "sanitized" I mainly mean that literally--I'm just referring to the likelihood that no one in a theme park actually wants to walk down a muddy street full of horse manure, use an outhouse, meet n' greet hard-working locals who haven't bathed in several days or--yikes--have a tooth pulled by a dentist using 19th Century tools.
AAs were still pretty much Disney-exclusive and a novelty. But the novelty's worn off, and the songs and skits now seem rather hackneyed (time marches on). IMO, either the Bears should be replaced OR upgraded with new music at least, and I would much prefer the latter. I think that could be done and would give the Bears the fresh start it needs. Marni has mentioned a refresh, and I hope that's what happens. Oh, and the seasonal Bear shows would be a welcome return because I never got to see any of them. 
From what I understand, that’s kind of a grey area. He oversaw the plans for Country Bears for a ski resort. He loved the idea and died a few days after plans for the attraction were finalized. And of course he was long gone by the time it became a WDW opening day attraction. So he may not have been involved in the physical attraction, but that was the last one built he had his hands on and oversaw the development. He was present for most of pirates and of course his idea for the Mansion was never really realized.
I'm assuming the survey is filled out online. Have you ever debated doing surveys in-park? (I assume this would take too many people to do... I also so not know the legality of conducting surveys within the park itself)

tiana deserves so much more.
