Yay Leineweber! His thesis sounds much more careful than, uh. A lot of things that you have read us :)
So he writes a biography which ostensibly does just that but also delivers plenty of digs and anti-FW material, just like he'd been ordered to talk about scholars being idiots and ended up talking about everyone being fools. And course he was a practiced double talker and spy.
I know I am easily convinced, but Leineweber has convinced me! It's just really hard to believe that the same guy who wrote the Scholars Are Fools essay and did all that secret agent stuff could also write all that about FW with a straight face...
