Yeah, and IF frogs HAD wings their asses wouldn't hit the ground when they jump. Lee was an outstanding general in terms of strategic planning, but a so-so commander. He might have done better if he and his lieutenants not bought into all of the hype about how great and undefeatable they were.
I think the "Lee legend" was created by those around him. Lee had too much humility to make any such claims and I doubt you could find any evidence of him ever making such claims.
