For Napolean critics, Patton and all the rest would have studied his campaigns at West Point because the US Army recognized his brilliance.

To some extent, that adds to Napolean's credit. If those who learned from him are better than him, it shows how much he innovated. It's like today's physics student who studies Newton and his successors. Today's student knows more than Newton, but you see Isaac Newton's brilliance in the emphasis even today on his work.
