I guess I'm skeptical when someone who writes a lot can't be quoted from his writings on such a major point.

I'm sure he was arrogant and stupid in his work in Russia-- the results speak for themselves and he may be unwilling to own up to those mistakes. But what else is new?

But why assume bad intent when arrogance is often a more likely explanation?
