Well, according to this guy, there has been "great controversy" since Schliemann found Troy over "inconsistencies" in geographical layout and "lack of physical evidence" of a battlefield large enough to be the one Homer was writing about.

The interesting thing is that this fellow appears to have conveniently skipped the fact that before it was discovered, the Trojan War written about by Homer was believed to have been 100% myth. There was no "longstanding controversy" of any sort because everyone believed that Homer made the whole thing up.

Still, I would be interested in hearing greater depth as to why this guy is or isn't full of crap.
