I just read this in a review. It seems so akin to the purpose of this blog that I want to include it as a bit of wisdom to ponder. The author is Nicole Coonradt.
In such projects, methods and conclusions will always be liable to complaint; but there is something brave in the foolish attempts to comprehend the life of another in the imperfect evidence of opaque remains, and something sadly timid in the principled refusal to condone any daring speculation about the secrets of an extraordinary mind. Risks may lead to discoveries when caution leaves us reconciled to ignorance.
[My emphasis]
Nicole Coonradt is a gem!
