- This is true. The author did not seem very interested in investigating
- critically the statements of those who were quoted making unflattering
- statements about Dr. Jernigan or the Federation. These statements seem
- to have been taken at face value. In order, I suppose, to compensate
- for the lack of thorough documentation, the author quotes more
- anti-Federation people than pro-Federation people. Far be it from me to
- speak ill of her, but it is hard to escape the suspicion that this is a
- typical case of "the big lie". Personally, I think the author was had
- by those who would do the Federation ill and did not know enough to see
- it coming.
