No, but I don't have to. The man's style is a reflection of his mind, and his mind has an all but magnetic draw to everything that is spurious, irresponsible, and cheaply explained. I find it significant how he managed to trash every bit of real history - and there is a good deal of that - in his predecessors' THE HOLY BLOOD AND THE HOLY GRAIL. His ability to single out the bad and reject the good is almost a gift.
