I really don't understand your fascination with the prominence of a historian. Prominence doesn't immediately infer being correct. Charles Beard was one of the most prominent of the 20th century historians yet I doubt you can find very many who give his economic theories credence. William Dunning was just as prominent at the turn of the century, yet no one accepts his race-based theories on Reconstruction.

Prominence does not automatically make one correct.
