The whole ordeal just wasn't as simple as most are comfortable with. Its a shame that folks read a little and think they can sum the whole thing up. Folks need to take in as much as they can from all sources to get an honest view. Stereotypes that were learned in school often prevent most from from looking any further. Obviously if something was learned in high school/college, it must be right (sarcasm). Most have little appreciation for the sweeping nature of the WBTS. I'm attracted to the fact that it IS/WAS so complex. Unless we understand OUR history, WE ARE destined to repeat it.
