Conservative historians who represent a traditional account as accurate because of its age may be guilty of taking on trust what they should have examined in a conscientious fashion.
Can anyone please explain to me what " guilty" means here?
And how to understand the whole sentence?
Thank you.

Guilty: having committed an offense, crime, violation, or wrong. These historians might be wrong (and we can accuse them of being wrong) because they put too much trust in certain reports (eg. old eyewitness accounts).
