The Lincoln No One Knows

[davg2000]

Just for fun, I went to Amazon to check what readers said about this book. This response was my favorite: "I have not bought this book as I would not let one penny fall into Garrison's pocket, but I've perused this volume heavily. I wish that I could have given it 0 stars....this book should be relegated to the heap of trash-writing never to be recovered."

I had one college teacher who would have despised Garrison's use of "perhaps" in the passage cited, calling such use dishonest and a "weasel word."

A speculative question such as this one--"Was the mystic who was born in obscurity angry during this period?" is lazy and and dishonest if it is "answered" with words such as "perhaps" and "maybe." None of the responses given to the question include "No, he wasn't angry." Such writing causes the seed of half-truth or misinformation to be planted. The "History" Channel does this often.
