Patton and Patch, good friends and extremely skilled WWII battlefield generals. Patch avoided the limelight so few today know his name.
Patton turned cursing into a high art, probably for effect, as he was from a very rich and cultured family.

Both were plenty smart. My dad served under both, preferred Patch, although it didn’t have anything to do with cursing.
Both died within four months of the end of WWII, Patch at age 56 and Patton at 60.

But deceptiveness is not so independent of university researchers.
