"awwwww he is really just incredibly non-socially/emotionally-perceptive and non-self-aware, it's cute."

This!

Of course, if he'd been even slightly socioemotionally perceptive/aware like Richard Burton then maybe we'd have had a lot more information about everything!

This too!

It seems to me as it is that Lendorff seems to be the Mystery Source for a lot of things you guys already knew from bios and such.

I know; he wasn't on my radar at all (he gets quoted in biographies but not in such a way that I remembered him as a person), and I keep having these, "Oh, *he's* our source for this!" moments. Thank god for selenak, because he really doesn't seem to have been translated, and I just never would have been able to read him. And he is *such* an awesome source.
