Morgan for the most part does resist the temptation to make sweeping generalizations, and carefully weighs one authors account against another, and then combined with other factors such as inscriptions about the men involved and any potential author bias, puts forth his case strongly demonstrating clearly why and how he has reached his conclusions.
