An example of "diversification" in the "infrastructure" of the free-thinking herd (popular academia terms). I assume, but don't know, that the aforementioned author has found a place in the herd, although not a trained historian, and is the hit of this forum because, in part (a) a woman; and (b) a member of some ethnic group previously mistreated by the evil Western European culture. And that Mr.Herb Barger, distinguished Jefferson Family Historian, is maligned and/or his expertise not recognized and respected to a great extent because (a) a man and (b) not a member of some ethnic group previously mistreated by the evil Western European culture, but is himself a a member of said culture, and (c) dares to correct the aforementioned author for her factual errors. Please confirm if these assumptions are correct so I can at last understand what all the controversy is about. Thank you.
