Some of the posts on here remind me of people in the workplace in lower level jobs who are always saying anyone (including themselves of course) could do the big boss's job. And that the big boss only lucked into it.

But anyone who has ever been around people with any kind of power knows there are reasons some people achieve it and some people don't. (Outside blatant cases of nepotism of course.)

I have never been one to venerate John A but to suggest he was a mediocre, bumbling idiot like Richard Dreyfuss in Moon Over Parador who just fell into these roles by sheer coincidence or default is absurd.

Just another example of altering the historical narrative to make it fit contemporary concerns.
