Here we go again into the well trodden muck. Because H "fulfilled his role" in Nazi Germany we are obligated on "sufficient" grounds to discard or disregard his work and look elsewhere. Just as Susanna is obligated by this trite line of argumentation to trash Newton, Einstein, Freud, Nietzsche and innumerable others (including those who blatantly degrade the opposite gender) based on the disapproval of their perceived reprehensible private/public conduct. As for the mind-altering B/T, the lack of background (supposedly on the above-mentioned grounds) to apprehend its project and influence is to confirm an unjustifiable loss. Consider confirmation in the recommended and superb "silence of the limbs;.
