Is it required that we rank the two men? That we disect each and determine their faults and gifts? Do we believe that in all cases when persons observe an event each will infer the identical conclusion? Do we hold beliefs that defy the evidence? Even Einstein insisted on retaining opinions that were not supportable, so perhaps we mortals should be more understanding of human shortcomings. For myself, each man gave me pleasure to read, and for that I am grateful. I am content to believe that each had his share of faults and was a worthy human being.
