For my part, I have no doubt you are wrong, and I'd add woefully, but to 
no useful end. In ASG Eliot wrote, "The acrimony which accompanies much 
debate is a symptom of differences so large that there is nothing to 
argue about." The gulf between what I see in ASG (and in Eliot more 
generally) and what you see is so large that there seems little point in 
pursuing it. One can "idealize" villainy as well as heroism, and my 
honest thought is that you have produced an Eliotic villain who never 
existed, i.e. an un-Eliotic villain who is the product of your own 
imaginations. I'm quite aware that you disagree but simply wish to make 
the point.
