I didn't say you shouldn't read it -- I didn't even say I wouldn't finish it myself. I just said why it was painful for me to read it. And why the story is so well-rehearsed, and how the myth has replaced the actual events. So many people are reading so much more into what I wrote than what I actually wrote (and think).


Can you give any concrete example of where Issacson's apparently shoddy reporting has led to a well-rehearsed myth replaced the actual events?

Instead of complaining about how non-insiders keep trumpeting up "bullshit", help shed light on the truth.

Your post would be much more valuable had you provided even one concrete example of this.
