I don't understand your friend's response. He needs to speak plain English. Maybe he doesn't know, uninitiated as he is, that Brodie's "facts" (as distinguished from her conjectures) were based upon historical records, and are unchallenged to this day, including by Bushman. Her book is closely footnoted. She has much more to support her facts than, say, common conceptions of Alexander the Great or Marco Polo. I don't know how else you establish historical facts.
I categorically deny my piece was a "diatribe."
